Plasma (XPL) stole the crypto market spotlight at the end of September, but has fallen considerably.
After a failed bounce attempt, the XPL price broke down from one of its final support levels today.
A plunge to a new all-time low is likely unless the price mounts a bullish trend reversal soon.
Let’s examine the charts and figure out the XPL trend for the rest of 2025.
The XPL price has fallen by 55% since its all-time high of $1.69 on Sept. 28.
Its decline temporarily stpooed at the $0.85 horizontal level, increasing optimism around a possible bullish trend reversal.
Bulls took over and caused a breakout from a diagonal resistance at the start of October.
However, the breakout was unsuccessful, since the XPL price created a lower high on Oct. 7 and resumed its decline.
Today, the XPL price broke down from the $0.85 horizontal support area and fell to a low of $0.74, declining below its listing price for the first time.

Momentum indicators show no signs of a bullish trend reversal whatsoever. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is below 30 and the Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) is negative.
Neither has generated any bullish divergence, so the XPL price prediction for the rest of October is bearish.
Let’s look at the wave count and figure out what’s next.
The wave count suggests the XPL trend is bearish. Firstly, the XPL price finished a five-wave decline (red) after the all-time high.
The next increase was corrective, as evidenced by the A-B-C correction (black) in the first week of October.
Then, the XPL price began another five-wave downward movement, and the bounce today is likely part of wave four.

If the wave count transpires as expected, the price will hit a low of $0.69, reaching the 1.61 external Fibonacci retracement of the previous bounce.
While it is unclear if it will bottom once it gets there, at least a temporary bounce is likely.
XPL’s breakdown from its key support has erased much of the bullish momentum it briefly built up earlier this month.
With the price now sitting below its listing level, bears remain firmly in control.
The next target appears to be around $0.69, where at least a temporary bounce could occur.
