Ripple’s native cross-border token has dropped to $1.93 after failing to hold above the $2. In the short term, the price action is moving to the downside, but some technical indicators could change the trend in the future.

XRP Stalls Below $2 as Support Shifts

XRP lost momentum after a brief move above $2. Sellers stepped in quickly, pushing the asset down and clearing recent gains. Former support at $2 has turned into resistance, now capping upside moves.

XRP is holding around $1.93, with $1.90 acting as a nearby support level. Failure in that area could lead to additional losses. Bulls would consider a stable movement past $ 2.05 as an important milestone to recover.

Meanwhile, the MACD on the weekly chart is showing signs of compression. Histogram bars are fading, and the two lines are drawing closer. This pattern often appears before a crossover. Traders view this as a signal that momentum could shift in the coming weeks. A technical analyst known as ChartNerd shared,

Historical data shows that similar crossovers have led to strong upward moves. Despite this, XRP continues to trade below its long-term descending trendline. The line has been respected for months, and the price has yet to close above it. A confirmed breakout above this trendline would be needed for any push toward the $2.50 zone.

Analysts Warn of Weak Buyer Support

Earlier this month, XRP reached a two-month high of $2.41. The move represented a 30% gain from the start of the year but did not hold. Market analyst Dom said the rise lacked strong buyer activity.

Since then, XRP has dropped 18% from that peak. Dom also noted that XRP has tested the $1.80 area three times, which he described as a final possible support structure. A move below this zone may trigger deeper losses. To stabilize, the asset must rise and remain above $2.05.

Other crypto assets have also been affected by growing tension between the US and the EU. After military activity involving EU countries in Greenland, the US responded with tariffs. This development has added pressure to risk assets, including digital currencies.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
