Technically, XRP trades at $1.2792 below MA-20, MA-50, and MA-200, with pronounced bearish momentum and key support possibly emerging below $1.00 if selling persists.

Institutional inflows rise as spot activity climbs amid broad market selling

XRP trading volumes surged 212% on the Bitrue exchange, reflecting increased spot market activity and institutional interest. There were confirmed inflows into XRP-focused ETFs, as reported by Canary Capital and Bitwise, alongside capital outflows in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Ripple published a whitepaper detailing a new trading framework for banks and institutional investors, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that XRP is firmly stuck in a bearish cycle across short, medium, and long-term moving averages. He highlights the active bearish momentum with the MACD signaling a persistent selloff and the ADX showing a strong trend. Kharitonov points out that even increased institutional inflows have failed to counteract broader selling pressure, as XRP lags amid high volatility and sharp daily losses. He stresses the risk of further downside if buyers remain absent, especially below the $0.9919 support. "Until significant buyers emerge and price closes above the Kijun line, I see little reason to expect a sustained reversal in XRP," Kharitonov says.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees recent developments as strengthening XRP’s long-term outlook. He highlights the 212% volume surge and notable inflows into XRP-focused ETFs as proof of rising institutional engagement. Karapetjanc is confident that Ripple’s new institutional framework and increased capital interest set robust foundations. He believes such macro and fundamental signals position XRP for future growth once short-term headwinds pass. "With institutional demand rising and supportive product launches, the market offers compelling setups for medium-term buyers," Karapetjanc asserts.

Parshwa Turakhiya, analyst, observes XRP’s technicals signaling short-term oversold conditions as the price tests fresh lows. Turakhiya sees potential for a sentiment-driven rebound if intraday volatility attracts speculative buying near the bottom of the projected range. He notes that exhausted sell momentum could open the door for swift swings, but sellers remain firmly in control until $1.3943 is reclaimed. "I’d watch for a sharp bounce off key supports given oversold sentiment, but patience is essential until buyers truly step in," Turakhiya comments.

Active bearish momentum as oversold signals suggest possible exhaustion

Momentum signals are negative with the MACD showing a strong sell and the ADX reading above 34, indicating a pronounced and active bearish trend. Oscillators, including RSI (38.6), Stoch RSI (38.8), and CCI (–93.4), all point to oversold territory, suggesting downside exhaustion despite continued selling. BBP is barely positive but does not outweigh the broad bearish bias, and the Awesome Oscillator’s bearish reading confirms current momentum. XRP opened at $1.3558 after a clear gap down from the previous close ($1.4231), with the price now near today’s low and daily losses reaching 10.11%. Intraday volatility is high, and the tone remains weak with sellers dominating since the open.

Last time, analysts noted that XRP continues to face sustained bearish pressure, trading below all major weekly moving averages with technical indicators such as RSI and MACD confirming negative momentum and a dominant seller presence. Immediate resistance is observed near $1.39, while further downside remains the base case unless buyers reclaim this level, with support identified around $1.21.
