XRP stood firm as crypto markets took a beating on Tuesday. Most coins fell hard, but XRP avoided hitting new lows. Market watchers now wonder if the altcoin might recover faster than other cryptos.
XRP Holds Ground In Tough Market
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.
Analysts See Promising Signs
A number of crypto experts have noticed that XRP is performing better. Dom, a crypto analyst, said the altcoin only had a “fakeout” below the important $2.25 price mark. Dom stated that for things to stay on track, XRP needs to close above this price.

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.
Is A Price Recovery Underway?
XRP has already bounced back with an 8% gain, bringing its price to $2.31. This quick recovery has cut its weekly losses to around 9%.
The coin’s ability to avoid deeper drops might give investors hope. While the entire market faces uncertainty, XRP’s performance suggests it might weather the storm better than its competitors.
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.
