XRP closed below the psychological level of $3 and continues to correct. However, fractal patterns in the market hint at growth opportunities in Q4.
Current Situation in XRP Market
On August 19, XRP closed below the $3 level, continuing a two-week correction. While short-term trends appear bearish, the long-term outlook remains constructive thanks to recurring market fractals.
Fractal Patterns and Growth Opportunities
A market fractal indicates a repeating price structure observed across various timeframes. On XRP’s daily chart, the current structure resembles that of earlier in 2025, where XRP surged to $3.40 before correcting to $1.60. Gains of 60-85% in Q4 are possible, with potential highs of $4.35.
Negative Whale Flows and Their Market Influence
Recent data shows that large XRP holders have been reducing their positions. However, selling pressure approaches exhaustion. Historically, whale activity has been critical in market direction. A similar accumulation phase may re-emerge around $2.65–$2.33.
Despite current bearish trends and price declines, XRP may anticipate growth in Q4 if current model patterns hold. Observing whale activity will be key in understanding further market dynamics.
