It is a bearish Monday for the cryptocurrency market as the major cryptocurrencies are currently in the red. Bitcoin dipped to the $92k level, while XRP briefly retested the January 2nd low following an excellent start to the year.<\/p>\n

With XRP wiping out its recent gains, it could encounter further losses as increasing exchange reserves show that investors are reducing their exposure to the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

XRP retests $1.85 as bulls suffer huge losses<\/h2>\n

The cryptocurrency market was bullish last week, but most of the gains were wiped out a few hours ago thanks to the ongoing trade tension between the United States and the European Union (EU).<\/p>\n

XRP is down 3.7% in the last 24 hours and is now trading at $1.97 after briefly retesting the January 2nd low of $1.85 a few hours ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The trade war between the United States and the EU bloc began trade war emerged after President Donald Trump threatened to escalate tariffs, starting at 10% on February 1 and rising to 25% by June, on imports from eight NATO allies (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, and Finland).<\/p>\n

Trump added that the tariff will stay in place unless Denmark agrees to sell Greenland to the United States.<\/p>\n

European leaders criticized the move, describing the demands as blackmail and warning of a \u201cdangerous downward spiral\u201d in transatlantic relations.<\/p>\n

However, Min Jung, associate researcher at Presto Research, pointed out that the cryptocurrency market is currently weak compared to other financial markets. Jung added that,\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWhile US-EU trade war concerns have had the largest impact on sentiment, other risk assets, including the KOSPI, are trading flat to higher. This suggests that crypto-specific weakness persists, with investors favoring other risk assets, a theme that has continued as most markets rally while crypto remains the laggard.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

XRP could reclaim $2.0 if the swing low holds<\/h2>\n

The XRP\/USD 4-hour chart is bearish as XRP has lost 4% of its value in the last seven days, making it one of the worst performers in the top 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The momentum indicators are bearish, suggesting that sellers are currently in control of the market. <\/p>\n

The RSI of 40 is below the neutral 50, indicating a growing selling pressure on the coin.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

The MACD line also crossed into the negative zone on Thursday, adding further bearish confluence to XRP. <\/p>\n

If the selloff continues, XRP could retest the Monday low of $1.8533 in the near term. An extended bearish performance could bring the $1.80.<\/p>\n

However, if the market recovers, XRP could surge past the $2.06 resistance over the next few hours or days. The $2.2 resistance remains a strong one for XRP following multiple failed attempts in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
