Although the cryptocurrency has faced a difficult few weeks, growing ETF inflows, rising blockchain activity, and improving technical indicators suggest buyers are still defending key support levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/currencies\/xrp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">XRP <\/a>Remains Under Pressure Despite Holding Key Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XRP is currently changing hands around <strong>$1.05<\/strong>, with its price moving between <strong>$1.04 and $1.07<\/strong> over the past 24 hours. The token has dropped more than <strong>7% during the last week<\/strong> and is down roughly <strong>19% over the past month<\/strong>, reflecting continued weakness across the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the decline, XRP has managed to stay above the psychologically important <strong>$1 support level<\/strong>, which many analysts consider critical for determining its next move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cryptocurrency currently ranks <strong>sixth by market capitalization<\/strong>, valued at approximately <strong>$65.4 billion<\/strong>, while its daily trading volume remains above <strong>$1.1 billion<\/strong>, indicating that investor activity is still healthy even as prices remain near recent lows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">XRP is also trading well below its <strong>all-time high of $3.65<\/strong>, reached in <strong>July 2025<\/strong>. Over the past year, the token has lost more than <strong>50% of its value<\/strong>, and it is down about <strong>49% over the last 200 days<\/strong>, highlighting the broader long-term bearish trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier market analysis also pointed out that XRP is trading near a <strong>20-month low<\/strong>, making the $1 price level increasingly important. If this support fails, analysts believe the next downside targets could be around <strong>$0.85<\/strong> and <strong>$0.70<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the upside, traders are watching for a move above <strong>$1.12<\/strong>, followed by <strong>$1.27<\/strong>, before confirming that bullish momentum has returned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XRP ETFs Continue Attracting Fresh Capital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While XRP&#8217;s price has struggled, institutional demand tells a different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On <strong>June 26<\/strong>, XRP recorded the strongest single-day ETF inflows among major cryptocurrencies, attracting approximately <strong>$15.63 million<\/strong>. During the same period, <strong>spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced around $444.51 million in outflows<\/strong>, while <strong>Ethereum ETFs lost nearly $12.85 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The positive trend has continued over several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to <strong>SoSoValue<\/strong>, XRP spot ETFs have now posted <strong>seven consecutive weeks of positive inflows<\/strong>, collecting roughly <strong>$144.69 million<\/strong> during that period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately <strong>$7.73 billion in net outflows<\/strong>, while Ethereum ETFs saw about <strong>$1.18 billion<\/strong> leave their funds over the same seven-week stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previous reports also showed XRP investment products outperforming both Bitcoin and Ethereum for <strong>five straight weeks<\/strong>. Another analysis linked to the <strong>CLARITY Act<\/strong> found that XRP ETFs accumulated approximately <strong>$1.44 billion in total inflows<\/strong> during six weeks of buying activity, even as XRP&#8217;s market price remained under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although these strong inflows have not yet pushed XRP significantly higher, they suggest institutional investors continue accumulating the asset, helping stabilize prices around the $1 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-Chain Data Points to Growing Network Activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blockchain activity is also showing encouraging signs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Crypto analyst <strong>Ali Charts<\/strong> reported that XRP&#8217;s <strong>daily active addresses<\/strong> increased from roughly <strong>23,000 on June 14<\/strong> to nearly <strong>39,500<\/strong> within two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A growing number of active addresses generally signals increased network usage. While this does not guarantee a price rally, it often reflects stronger user participation during periods of market uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ali Charts also highlighted two bullish technical patterns appearing on XRP&#8217;s daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first is the <strong>Tom DeMark Sequential &#8220;9&#8221; buy signal<\/strong>, a technical indicator that sometimes precedes a short-term rebound lasting between one and four trading sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second is a <strong>Morning Star Doji<\/strong> formation, a chart pattern widely used by traders to identify potential bottoms after prolonged declines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the analyst, stronger buying volume could help XRP climb toward <strong>$1.30<\/strong>, which also aligns with previous resistance levels. Earlier technical analysis likewise identified <strong>$1.20<\/strong>, <strong>$1.24<\/strong>, and <strong>$1.30<\/strong> as important recovery targets if buyers regain control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Derivatives Market Reset Could Influence XRP&#8217;s Next Move<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data from <strong>CryptoOnchain<\/strong> shows that XRP&#8217;s derivatives market has recently gone through a significant deleveraging process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long liquidations surged to nearly <strong>$3 million<\/strong> over the past week, representing an increase of more than <strong>800% compared to the previous month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, <strong>open interest<\/strong> declined from around <strong>$1.18 billion to approximately $1.04 billion<\/strong>, while funding rates turned sharply negative. This indicates that many traders betting on higher prices have already been forced out of their positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such resets often reduce excessive speculation and can create conditions for stronger price moves if spot buying remains steady and short sellers become overextended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Binance exchange reserves have stayed relatively stable throughout the week, suggesting that holders are not rushing to transfer XRP onto exchanges for immediate selling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, traders will closely monitor both <strong>open interest<\/strong> and <strong>funding rates<\/strong>. If open interest begins rising while XRP successfully defends the $1 level, it could signal a healthier market recovery. However, a decisive break below $1 with increasing trading volume may shift attention toward support levels at <strong>$0.85<\/strong> and <strong>$0.70<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond price action, Ripple&#8217;s broader ecosystem also continues to expand. The company&#8217;s <strong>RLUSD stablecoin<\/strong> has recently launched in <strong>Japan through SBI VC Trade<\/strong>, providing Ripple with another regulated entry point into the Asian market. Even so, XRP&#8217;s near-term direction will largely depend on whether buyers can continue defending the critical $1 support while ETF demand and on-chain activity remain strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also read : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decentralnetwork.org\/news\/what-is-wrapped-bitcoin-wbtc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What Is Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC)?
