XRP downturn tested against analyst’s long-term bullish wave count

A technical analysis argues XRP’s broader rise from its 2024 breakout remains intact despite a seven-day decline.

A technical analysis argues XRP’s broader rise from its 2024 breakout remains intact despite a seven-day decline. XRP (XRP) is trading at $1.19. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CaptainAltcoin, with live market data added, as of Fri, 06 Nov 2026 19:00:05 UTC.

Why it matters

The interpretation shifts attention from XRP’s recent weakness to the larger market structure, but it remains one analyst’s chart-based assessment rather than a confirmed change in trend.

Key takeaways
  • XRP trades at $1.19 after falling 3.73% over 24 hours.
  • A seven-day decline of 4.49% has not displaced the analyst’s broader bullish wave count.
  • The analysis traces the current cycle to XRP’s 2024 breakout near $0.50.
  • The total crypto market is flat at $2.62 trillion amid a Fear & Greed reading of 28.

CaptainAltcoin reports that CasiTrades views XRP’s recent selloff as potentially obscuring the larger bullish structure. Her long-term analysis, presented through an Elliott Wave count, maintains that the broader advance beginning with XRP’s 2024 breakout near $0.50 remains intact. The assessment concerns market structure rather than an announced fundamental development or a new event involving the asset.

The analysis shifts attention away from the immediate decline and toward the wider advance, according to the sole source. No independent outlet coverage was supplied, so the interpretation, wave count and conclusion are attributable to CasiTrades and CaptainAltcoin. The available reporting does not provide a projected price target, timeline or confirmation that a new upward wave has begun.

XRP is trading at $1.19, down 3.73% over 24 hours and 4.49% over seven days, leaving it with a reported market capitalization of $75.85B. The broader crypto market is comparatively stable at $2.62 trillion in total capitalization, while Bitcoin is down 0.36% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index stands at 28, placing market sentiment in the “Fear” category. What follows from the technical thesis is whether XRP’s broader structure remains intact alongside its near-term losses; the current data do not settle that question or establish a future price path.
