[XRP this week is down 7.9%, and I’m waiting for a signal]
Let me start with something interesting.
There’s an anomaly on-chain: this week’s trading volume for XRP is nearly 40% lower than last week. In other words, it’s not that the sell-off is especially vicious—it's that the buying side has shrunk even more. Nobody’s stepping in to pick it up.
That’s the real problem.
In the past 30 days, XRP is up 27%, and the market was still in a hype phase. Then this week, it suddenly weakened: down 3.1% over 24 hours, and nearly 8% over seven days—now it’s stuck around 1.35.
Support is at 1.31, resistance at 1.46.
Put simply: the bulls want to push higher, but the buying momentum can’t keep up. The FNG sentiment index has dropped to 62, below the weekly average of 68—sentiment is ebbing.
My take: this pullback isn’t over yet.
But this isn’t necessarily bad. I’ve been through this too many times—when an asset pulls back intermittently in the middle of a main uptrend, it’s healthy. The truly dangerous situation is when it keeps rising and never turns back—that’s when it becomes a bubble.
The key question is: during this XRP pullback, who is hit the hardest?
If institutions still haven’t fully exited their holdings, they’ll try to support the price. The retail traders who chased are most vulnerable—when sentiment is the most fragile, they’re the ones most likely to cut losses. And for someone like me, I’m waiting to see whether 1.31 can hold.
If it holds, there will be another chance after the range trading. If it doesn’t hold, it may test deeper support.
From a business-logic perspective, XRP’s cross-border payment use case is genuinely real, and Ripple’s compliance pathway is also progressing. This isn’t just pure speculation—if it can actually run, it has real utility. But the issue is: how much of the price has already priced in in advance? That’s what we need to watch next week.
**Has my view changed this week?**
No. I’ve always said there’s heavy pressure around 1.46 that needs to be digested. The pullback is here—normal.
But one thing has changed: I originally expected the pullback to be milder, not so decisive. The market’s sentiment has ebbed faster than I thought. This reminds me of something—don’t overestimate retail investors’ patience, and don’t underestimate institutional timing.
**Interactive question:**
If you currently hold XRP, are you planning to ride it out, or are you going to exit first because of the pullback? In a situation like this, do you think the application scenarios that can truly be realized are enough to support long-term confidence?
