XRP is currently trading just above 1. This whole bottleneck has been grinding for two or three days. This week’s low is all sitting at 0.984. Once it breaks above 1.01, it just doesn’t have the strength—basically a dead-flat line.
The news flow has actually been extremely hot these past few days—ETF inflows, hedge fund disclosures of their positions, even reports about a crypto-related meeting at the White House. The issue is this: for all these positives piling up, the price doesn’t move at all. If something is bullish and the price doesn’t rise, it doesn’t necessarily mean an immediate drop, but at least it shows this “heat” hasn’t yet turned into real, cash-like buying demand.
The money flow is clearly fighting itself. Over the past 3 hours, spot large-order net outflows totaled 236 million. In 12 candlesticks, there hasn’t been a single positive one—big players really are pulling back. But then the very last 15-minute candle suddenly flipped positive; the spot buy-versus-sell ratio came in at 6.8. So one side is withdrawing while the other is picking up—the direction hasn’t unified yet.
The technical picture is also split. The daily chart is still below all moving averages, and the structure is bearish. But RSI and MFI have both been hammered into oversold territory. After falling this long and being this low, the cost-effectiveness of continuing to chase short positions is also declining. Volatility indicators are maxed out—at this level, volatility can expand at any time.
So I’m just watching right now. I’m not chasing, and I’m not in a rush to short either. I’m watching the 0.984 support: if it holds and the outflows stop, that’s a signal of strength. If it breaks down and outflows keep expanding, I’ll switch back to a short view. Right now, both sides haven’t given an answer yet—let the market pick a direction first.
