Ripple’s XRP is struggling below a key investor cost basis, with data showing declining ETF inflows and significant sell pressure from large holders. Recent on-chain movements suggest capitulation may be underway, but such high realized losses have historically preceded market rebounds.
Ripple’s XRP is attempting to regain its position above its Realized Price, the average price current holders paid. Remaining below this line indicates most investors are underwater and signals short-term weakness.
Recent data per Alphractal showed XRP dropping under this line and struggling to recover. A reclaim above this psychological level would be needed to restore market belief.
External demand has not offered strong support, as XRP Spot ETF flows have been weak. According to analyst Darkfost, more than 31 million XRP moved to Binance in a single day, representing roughly $45 million in potential sell pressure.
Santiment data revealed XRP recorded its largest realized loss spike since 2022. “These panic phases tend to happen near market bottoms,” the data suggests.
