[Markets Are Waiting for a Signal After the Wild Rises and Crashes—Just Like XRP in 2017]
I’ve lived through three moments like this—after a brutal drop, the market goes sideways. It doesn’t fall, but it also doesn’t rise. Everyone holds their breath, waiting for the next thing to happen. In 2017, it was after the ICO wave faded. In 2021, it was after retail investors had been taught. And now, it’s XRP.
In the last 24 hours, it’s down nearly 5%, and over 7 days it’s down almost 2%. On the surface, it looks green across the board. But don’t jump to conclusions. What I’m looking at is what’s underneath—trading volume has come down. The market is watching and waiting. This isn’t distribution; it’s waiting for direction.
Has XRP’s fundamentals changed? In my view, no. Regulation is still the same. The ETF upside was already priced in long ago. And there hasn’t been any truly explosive news on the technical side. The technical trend hasn’t broken down, and there’s no surprise in the fundamentals—this is the most real situation right now.
So who will be affected? To put it plainly, short-term traders are the ones who’ll feel it most. Chasers get trapped, and people on cash are too afraid to enter. But those who actually have a position are surprisingly calm. Why? Because from its ATH, it’s already down 63%—that drawdown has already killed off the worst emotions.
Does the business logic hold up? I do believe in XRP’s “cross-border payments” story. But the pace of real-world implementation is slower than I expected. Whether institutions will actually use it, and whether it can truly improve efficiency—those are the things that decide how high the ceiling can be. Short-term price moves are emotion. Long-term value is the business.
The same goes for China’s A-share market. There’s now a “policy floor,” and the market floor is still grinding into place. At times like this, the biggest taboo is to keep jumping back and forth.
I don’t know whether this will truly land on the ground, but I know one thing: in a market with no direction, those who survive are the ones who can wait.
