Tuesday’s crash sent most crypto prices tumbling. XRP dropped to $2.23, falling 4% in just one day. This marks a rough week for the coin, which lost 17% in the weekly frame, but the drop wasn’t as bad as earlier this month. During one of its biggest declines this year, on February 4th, the coin had sunk to $1.70 – much lower than Tuesday’s bottom.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, fell below $86,000. This was its lowest price since November 2024. The difference is clear: Bitcoin hit new recent lows while XRP did not. XRP losing steam in the daily frame. Source:CoinMarketCap Analysts See Promising Signs

Dom also noted that Bitcoin might face more trouble if it falls below $85,000. Despite these concerns, he thinks the crypto is doing better than most coins in the market. His view: XRP’s chart still looks solid compared to others.

Numbers Tell The Story

XRP’s strength shows up clearly in market data. According to CoinCodex, the coin did better than 92% of the top 100 crypto coins during this downturn.

While XRP avoided making new lows, other popular coins weren’t so lucky. Both Solana (SOL) and Dogecoin (DOGE) fell to their lowest points of 2024 during Tuesday’s crash. Related Reading Panic Sell?

What happens next depends partly on Bitcoin’s movement. Many traders are keeping a close eye on the next price movement of Bitcoin, as it often sets the tone for the whole crypto market. If Bitcoin stabilizes, XRP might continue its upward path.

For now, XRP stands out in a sea of red. Its quicker recovery and stronger support levels could make it a coin to watch as the broader digital currency space tries to find their footing after Tuesday’s crash.
