US spot Ripple (XRP) exchange-traded funds recorded net inflows of $4.25 million last week, reversing a net outflow of $1.84 million from the previous week. This inflow occurred while Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL) ETFs simultaneously recorded net outflows during the same period.
ETF Flow Reversal
Prior to the outflow week, XRP ETF flows had remained positive for 13 consecutive weeks. The $4.25 million inflow marks the first return of capital to the funds since that brief pause. The total net asset value of the XRP ETFs currently stands at nearly $1.5 billion. While the recent additions are modest relative to that total, continued weekly inflows would strengthen evidence of renewed institutional demand.
The divergence in flows suggests some investors were willing to buy XRP again after their brief pause, even as capital left funds tracking Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The data indicates a shift in investor behavior specific to the Ripple asset during this timeframe.
Price Resistance and Technicals
XRP remains in a long-term downward trending channel, creating lower highs as it builds upon prior down trends. A relief rally occurred from a low of $1.2532 toward $1.40, where descending trendline resistance triggered a rejection of the price rally. A second attempt at $1.40 failed at the same downtrending resistance line.
Following the failure at $1.40, prices fell through $1.35 and $1.32 toward $1.3141. Buyers have been unable to take control since that drop. The MACD histogram has produced slight positives recently, representing potential short-term momentum improvements. However, both MACD lines continue to trade below zero. Any selling activity near support may be mitigated somewhat by the recent inflows into the ETFs.
For XRP to challenge its bearish nature, the asset needs to demonstrate greater amounts of inflow into the ETFs and successfully break through resistance at $1.40. The current technical structure suggests that the price is still constrained by the larger downward trend.
Liquidation Clusters and Volatility
XRP’s recovery toward $1.40 has brought nearby liquidation clusters into focus, potentially shaping its next move. After dipping toward $1.2532, the token rebounded, suggesting buyers absorbed selling pressure around lower levels. The heatmap shows concentrated liquidity between $1.32 and $1.34. These clusters could be wiped out if the asset pushes its advance toward $1.40.
Below the current price, another cluster exists near the $1.29–$1.30 zone that could attract price during a pullback. Breaking through the uppermost liquidity cluster near $1.32 could significantly increase upside volatility toward $1.40. Conversely, a resumption of selling activity could cause prices to fall toward lower liquidity zones and amplify selling pressure.
