XRP price continued its strong downward momentum and lost a crucial support 
level as the crypto market crash gained steam. The Ripple (XRP) token 
continued to fall, reaching a low of $1.3495, its lowest level since November 
2024. It has…

What next for XRP price after the $128 billion wipe out?

XRP is back at a level traders remember all too well. The cryptocurrency 
suffered a sharp flash crash on October 10 that sent the price crashing down 
from $2.82 to $1.58 before an equally fast rebound toward $2.36. Months later, 
that same zone is back in play, but this time without the volatility spike or 
immediate recovery that characterized the earlier move. At the time of 
writing, XRP is trading around $1.44, down 10.4% over the past 24 hours. This 
sustained selling pressure has pushed the XRP price back into the flash crash 
low, and the next question is about what happens from here. Why The October 10 
Wick Low Matters So Much According to a technical analysis done by crypto 
analyst Hov on the social media platform X, the October 10 wick low has been 
one of the most important structural levels to hold on XRP’s weekly 
candlestick timeframe chart. Related Reading: XRP Just Hit A Golden Pocket, 
Relief Bounce Puts Price At $2.5 During the October 2025 flash crash, the XRP 
price registered a low of around $1.58, which acted as a panic extreme where 
the XRP price snapped back quickly once forced liquidations were cleared. 
However, the current situation looks different. XRP has now revisited and 
slightly undercut that wick low through real bearish trading, and as noted by 
crypto analyst Hov, things are starting to shape up. Hov’s technical analysis 
framework places XRP in the final stages of an expanded flat correction, with 
the current decline forming the C-wave. Notably, the analyst is tracking an 
ending diagonal within the C-wave. This is because ending diagonals are known 
for overlapping price action, compressed ranges, and false breakdowns that can 
shake out late sellers. If the structure holds, then XRP might transition into 
a stabilization phase and a potential reversal sequence. If it fails, then the 
corrective phase is not yet complete. $1.43 Is The Line That Changes 
Everything The most important thing to note going forward is how XRP reacts at 
$1.43 on the weekly timeframe. Technical analysis shows that this is the level 
XRP must hold to keep the current structure intact. A close below $1.43 would 
invalidate the ending diagonal thesis and shift the outlook decisively 
bearish. In the analyst’s words, that is where “things get real ugly real 
quick.” Related Reading: XRP’s 173-Day Theory: What Happens If This Historical 
Trend Plays Out Again The bullish scenario laid out on the chart also depends 
on XRP managing to hold above this $1.43 area. In that case, the projection 
shows the price stabilizing at this support before reversing higher and 
eventually going into a powerful rebound. Under this outlook, XRP would be 
entering an Impulse Wave V within a larger Elliott Wave structure. If that 
impulse plays out as expected, the chart points to long-term upside price 
targets stretching as high as $5.53. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart
