The most likely path, plus upside and downside
XRP stabilizes around $1.35 as profit-taking subsides and sentiment improves with potential ETF developments.
A recovery to $1.44 occurs if Bitcoin rallies post-profit-taking, drawing altcoin speculation back into the market.
XRP drops below $1.30 if ETF delays extend significantly and market sentiment worsens, leading to further sell-offs.
