 XRP has entered a strong correction cycle after testing a multi-year resistance trendline. Is the bull market on pause for now?
</div>
<div class="cointelegraph">
 <p>XRP (XRP) <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> has dropped 18.5% from its local high of $0.67 on Nov. 23. And, it appears the cryptocurrency will suffer more selloffs in the coming weeks.</p>
 <h2 id="xrp-technicals-hint-at-extended-correction">XRP technicals hint at extended correction</h2>
 <p>XRP has failed to break above a descending trendline resistance since January 2018. And, it fell short of logging a breakout above in November 2023, as well, illustrating a psychological selling pressure around the line.</p>

 <p>Each bearish rejection after testing the descending trendline resistance has historically resulted in a decline toward the ascending support trendline.&nbsp;</p>
 <p>The downside target appears around $0.50, interestingly closer to XRP's 50-week (the red wave) and 200-week (the blue wave) exponential moving averages (EMA). Thus, XRP's <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> risks declining by 20% before 2024, if this fractal plays out.</p>
 <h2 id="potential-xrp-transfers-to-exchanges">Potential XRP transfers to exchanges</h2>
 <p>XRP's bearish outlook picks more cues from the supply distribution data tracked its richest cohorts.</p>
 <p>Notably, the XRP supply held by addresses with a balance between 1 billion and infinity tokens (the black wave) has risen 1.75% since Nov. 20.</p>
 <p>A huge chunk of these addresses may belong to crypto exchanges, indicating that investors have been moving their XRP holdings to trading platforms for selling.</p>

 <p>Historical data shows that the spikes in the 1 billion-infinity XRP token cohort precede both modest and huge price declines (the red wave). Conversely, a recent decline in the cohort's supply, indicating exchange outflows, preceded XRP's price rally from $0.55 to up to $0.68.</p>
 <p>In addition, XRP fund data show de-risking behavior among institutional investors. In November, XRP-related investment vehicles witnessed outflows worth $2.6 million, according to CoinShares.</p>

 <p>Interestingly, other cryptocurrencies experienced inflows in the same period, with Bitcoin leading the chart.</p>
 <h2 id="is-the-xrp-bull-run-over">Is the XRP bull run over?</h2>
 <p>XRP price has soared in 2023, generating 80% returns for its investors as of Nov. 23. Its partial legal win against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Spot Bitcoin ETF euphoria have contributed the most to its yearly gains.</p>

 <p>As a result, the ongoing XRP <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> decline appears like a bull market correction. In other words, some investors are selling XRP near its local <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> tops to secure profits. In other words, XRP's overall uptrend is still intact.</p>
 <p>Trade analysts anticipate XRP to resume its bull trend, with Muro saying that it would rise to $0.80 next, up 30% from current <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> levels.</p>

 <p>CryptoBull expects XRP to reach $4.20 in 2024, citing the cryptocurrency's past breakouts after months of consolidation inside triangle patterns.</p>
