Within the cryptosphere, the price fluctuations of XRP and Solana are currently attracting all the attention. The rally of XRP to $2.30 is intriguing and raising concerns, while Solana struggles to maintain stable price levels. What is the future for these two crypto assets? Analysis in the following paragraphs.
XRP: A risky rally for crypto investors?
On January 11, 2025, the native token XRP of Ripple recorded a spectacular rise. Specifically, its value reached $2.60 after a meeting between Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, and President Donald Trump.
This volatility is sparking renewed interest among crypto investors. However, crypto experts are questioning whether this rally is sustainable. Since December 2024, XRP has indeed been moving within a symmetrical triangle. This indicates a price consolidation before a potential crypto breakout.
Upstream, several factors raise concerns about a correction. This mainly refers to the resistance at $2.53. If the price of XRP falls below $2.44, a liquidation of long positions could worsen the decline.
Solana under pressure despite initial bullish trend
Solana (SOL) is also not spared from the tremors of the cryptocurrency market. After flirting with $220 at the beginning of the year, the price of Solana has indeed plummeted below $200. The crypto asset has even lost up to 15% in recent days.
According to technical analyses, Solana crypto is also within a symmetrical triangle. The experts thus predict two possible outcomes:
- either a crypto breakout to the upside,
- or a continuation of the drop below $183.
This bearish pressure affects investor confidence. Above all, it raises questions about the future of this cryptocurrency.
XRP and Solana thus remain vulnerable to rapid market fluctuations. If the situation does not improve, investors will need to navigate cautiously to avoid significant losses.
