Bitcoin and XRP Face Crucial Price Levels Amid Market Volatility

NEW YORK, NY — Bitcoin and XRP are both attempting to reclaim resistance levels after significant movements in recent days. On October 4, 2025, Bitcoin is trading at $122,500 while XRP has fluctuated around $3.03.

Bitcoin recently established a strong breakout above $120,000, indicating a healthier technical outlook compared to XRP. Technical analysis suggests Bitcoin’s dominance could increase, with its market chart reflecting potential short-term gains. Conversely, XRP has struggled to maintain its upward momentum, reaching a peak of $3.10 before retreating.

A crypto analyst on the social media platform X points out that XRP is battling to exceed a downtrend resistance, with a target consolidation price of $3.12. The analyst also warns that unless XRP maintains its position above $3.12 this week, it could dip back below $3.00, raising the risk of declining towards the $2.72 support level.

Chart assessments reveal that if XRP breaks below $2.72, the trendline risk around $2.40 to $2.50 could come into play. In contrast, Bitcoin’s recent breakout suggests it may lead the market, regardless of upcoming fluctuations.

According to analysis, the following days will be critical, as the three-day candle closes soon, followed by a confirmation of the weekly candle’s direction. For XRP to sustain a bullish trend, it must remain above the $3.00 retest level. If Bitcoin fails to maintain its position above $120,000, it could prompt negative movements, including potential drops for XRP.

As of now, the closing levels of the week will determine whether the current rally continues or if a correction is imminent. Market participants are closely monitoring the developments.
