XRP has struggled in recent weeks, and doubt is beginning to creep into the community. December has kept the token near $2, and not every analyst shares expectations for a strong move.
Arthur (@XrpArthur) opened a firm line of skepticism when he told followers, “I think XRP is heading lower from here.”
He stressed that he did not want to “sell hopium”, indicating what he saw on the chart. His warning set a different tone from the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/egrag-crypto-believes-explosive-xrp-breakout-is-about-to-ignite/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">optimism that has followed XRP</a> through the final quarter of the year.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
 Sorry guys, but I think XRP is heading lower from here. I’m not here to sell hopium, just sharing what the chart is telling me.
 Yesterday’s move revealed something important: the selling pressure is still massive.
 Staying objective is key.

Arthur focused on what he viewed as a shift in market behavior. He said that recent moves revealed that selling pressure remained massive. His remarks contrasted with popular forecasts that <a href="https://timestabloid.com/finance-expert-next-xrp-breakout-will-be-legendary-heres-why/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">expect a price expansion in the short term</a>.
XRP currently sits at $2.01 and has built a tight range near $2 throughout December. Buyers have tried to push above key resistance, but momentum has slowed each time. Arthur believes the market now sits in a vulnerable position.

Several community members responded with contrasting views. One <a href="https://x.com/Scheggia_26/status/1998715026035659050?t=-azWkD4vYh_xU8KAASqV9A&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> that selling pressure at the late stage of a move can flip quickly if demand steps in at key levels. Arthur affirmed his bullish bias, but noted that XRP’s price continues to drop, failing to meet his expectations.
Another <a href="https://x.com/slithering999/status/1998754689983344753?t=3UxUkxSVaSezerJ6Tlj7Og&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">said</a> the current action reflects a larger number of sellers than buyers and insisted that the chart gives a clearer view than the surrounding hype. A third commenter <a href="https://x.com/jonathan_wcm/status/1998713907335066077?t=vIR9e9B-BJ9vIk8YTq1N0g&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">agreed</a> with the emphasis on chart behavior and revealed that the only resistance holding XRP back is the $2.23 level.

These could reduce the weight of short-term concerns.

A notable <a href="https://x.com/AECwealth/status/1998759830547476721?t=qkbub2Bt8rAFogtzuzvUpg&amp;s=19" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">response</a> came from a user who complained about market manipulation, saying that technical analysis can lose value when the price is externally controlled. He pointed to XRP’s poor performance in recent months, as the asset has failed to rise <a href="https://timestabloid.com/finance-coach-addresses-xrp-price-failure-despite-etf-launch/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">despite the launch of multiple spot XRP ETFs</a>.
He also highlighted the <a href="https://timestabloid.com/pro-xrp-lawyer-says-this-incident-around-recent-flash-crash-needs-to-be-investigated/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">flash crash on October 10</a> as an example of the flaws in technical analysis.

He also stated Bitcoin is currently dragging the market down, reaffirming his belief that XRP will decline from its current level.
