XRP on Verge: What’s Happening? Solana (SOL) on Major Support, Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) Anemic Performance Continues

As a seasoned analyst with over two decades of experience in financial markets under my belt, I’ve seen plenty of bulls and bears come and go. Today, I find myself observing three significant players in the crypto space – XRP, Solana, and Shiba Inu – each presenting distinct opportunities and challenges.


It seems that XRP might be on the verge of a significant technical shift. This change could potentially propel it into an upward trend or make its advancement challenging. Notably, the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) is approaching a crossover above the 200-day EMA, which typically signals the emergence of the ‘golden cross,’ a bullish sign.

However, any pause or decline might hinder this bullish crossover from materializing, making the current price point approximately $0.56 particularly vital. In the past few weeks, XRP has exhibited diverse trading volumes and price fluctuations that have left traders on edge. The actual traded volume of XRP has shown variability, with the latest figures suggesting a notable decrease to nearly $254 million.

The decrease in trading suggests worry, as it might mean fewer investors are engaging in the market, potentially lessening and shortening any positive trends. Technical indicators show a sense of ambiguity, while a golden cross seems likely since the 50-day moving average is nearly meeting the 200-day moving average. However, the lack of substantial trading activity could prevent this crossover from materializing.

Solana faces issues

At the juncture where it touches its 200-day moving average (a significant level that could influence its future direction), Solana finds itself at a crucial stage. Following a stretch of market turbulence in the broader cryptocurrency sphere, Solana’s price is now being tested against this long-term support, currently hovering around $144.59.

Above $140, the 200 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) has typically offered strong support for SOL in the past. Additionally, there’s another significant support level around $130. If SOL falls below this point, it could potentially lead to further price drops. However, if SOL manages to stay above the resistance levels provided by the 200 EMA, a potential recovery might start. Keep an eye on the $150–$155 range for these resistance levels.

In simpler terms, at the moment, the 50 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) stands around $152. If this value increases, it could indicate a bullish reversal, meaning the price may start to rise. Conversely, if the 50 EMA remains below its current level, Solana (SOL) might continue in a holding pattern, fluctuating between the resistance of the 50 EMA and the support provided by the 200 EMA.

The volume indicator shows that trading has been relatively subdued, possibly indicating traders are waiting for the right moment before making a move, while keeping a close eye on how SOL reacts to these key levels. At present, SOL doesn’t show signs of being overbought or oversold according to the RSI, which hovers around 44. This implies that the price could potentially go up or down, depending on the broader market conditions.

Shiba Inu is anemic

Because it’s struggling with subpar results, characterized by minimal price fluctuations and decreasing attention from big-time investors (known as whales), Shiba Inu continues to face difficulties. Currently, SHIB is priced around $0.00001368, unable to escape its downward trend and remaining stagnant for a prolonged period.

For both traders and investors, the low volatility is a serious concern. Low volatility assets typically have little price movement, which makes it difficult to make money, especially in a market as volatile as the cryptocurrency market. This is evident in the trading activity of SHIB right now, as the price remains in a small range and does not seem to be returning to its previous strong rallies.

The persistent exit of whales from Shiba Inu’s holdings appears to exacerbate its difficulties, as only 30 significant transactions have been observed within the past day, according to the latest on-chain analysis. This suggests a substantial decrease in such transactions.

It appears that significant investors are becoming less optimistic about SHIB‘s future, as indicated by the stark difference between the seven-day high of 69 large transactions and the current scenario. If the downward trend in whale activity continues, we might witness steeper price drops due to the exacerbation of the existing liquidity issue.
