The $650M Wave: Why XRP’s Record Inflow To Binance Signals A Massive Institutional Retreat
XRP has remained under sustained pressure since July 2025, losing more than 60% of its value from its all-time high and establishing a persistent downtrend. What initially appeared to be a corrective phase gradually evolved into structural weakness, as lower highs and fading momentum signaled deteriorating conviction across the market. Recent macro developments have only intensified that fragility. Currently trading near $1.35, XRP sits well below the 200-day moving average (red), which is positioned around the $1.90–$2.00 zone. This level previously acted as support during earlier consolidation phases but has now flipped into overhead supply. The inability to reclaim that region suggests sellers remain in control of the broader trend.Related Reading
Volume spikes during sharp downside candles, particularly in late February, point to liquidation-driven moves rather than orderly retracements. Although price is attempting to stabilize above the $1.30 area, the structure resembles a relief consolidation within a bearish regime rather than a confirmed base.
For momentum to shift meaningfully, XRP would need to reclaim the 200-day moving average and establish higher highs on sustained volume. Until then, rallies are likely to encounter supply, and the broader technical bias remains defensive.
