The XRP price has dipped about 1% in the last 24 hours to trade at $1.99 as of 3.50 a.m. EST on a 65% increase in trading volume to $1.98 billion.
That drop in the Ripple token price comes after XRP ETFs (exchange-traded funds) recorded 30 straight trading days of net inflows since launch, lifting their cumulative assets to almost $1 billion.
This stands in sharp contrast to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have seen large outflows, showing a clear split in investor sentiment across the top three cryptos.
If this pattern continues, XRP ETF accumulation could become a key support for the XRP price. Analysts say most of the buying has come from professional and advisory channels rather than small investors.
Even though the XRP price has cooled from its 2025 peak, on-chain activity increased compared to earlier in the year.
Analytics platforms report a rise in active addresses and healthy daily transaction counts, showing that the network is still being used for transfers and cross‑border payments, instead of sitting idle.

This network usage helps support the case for XRP as more than a purely speculative asset.
Whale tracking services also show continued movement of coins from exchanges to private wallets. A classic sign of accumulation. When holders move tokens off trading venues, it usually means they are less interested in selling quickly and more focused on long‑term storage or staking where available.
This matches the picture from ETF flows, where persistent buying suggests that patient capital is steadily building XRP positions despite the recent price dip.
On the daily chart, XRPUSDT is trading just under the $2.00 mark. Sitting on a horizontal support zone around $1.95–2.00 that has been tested multiple times since late November.
The 50‑day simple moving average (SMA) is sloping down above the price near $2.20. While the 200‑day SMA is higher, close to $2.60. Showing that the short‑term trend is under pressure inside a broader, still‑intact uptrend.
As long as XRP holds this support band, bears may find it hard to push the market into a deeper correction. Momentum indicators are neutral with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart sitting just below the mid‑line near 40, which signals that selling has cooled but buyers have not yet regained control.

The MACD is flat around the zero line, pointing to a lack of strong direction and the chance of a larger move once fresh catalysts appear.
If bulls defend the $1.95–2 area and XRP price recovers above the 50‑day SMA around $2.20, the next upside targets sit near $2.30 and then $2.60. This lines up with the 200‑day SMA and a previous congestion zone.
A clear breakout above that region would open the door for a move towards $3.15, the August swing high shown by the Fibonacci retracement levels. On the downside, a daily close below $1.95 would weaken the structure and could trigger a slide toward $1.85 and then $1.50, where lower Fibonacci levels and past demand zones appear on the chart.
