XRP recently hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $3.66, driven by a strong market-wide rally and increased investor optimism.

The enthusiasm that helped propel XRP to its recent peak appears to be cooling off. A major reason for concern is the sharp drop in the number of new XRP investors.

New wallet growth is often seen as a sign of strong retail interest and short-term price support.

Another worrying trend is the behavior of long-term XRP holders, often referred to as "HODLers.

According to on-chain metrics from Glassnode, the HODLer net position change for XRP turned negative for the first time in over a month.

This selling pressure from both new and long-term investors could cause XRP to lose critical support levels. The current support sits around $3.38.

Despite these concerns, not all hope is lost for XRP bulls. The asset is still trading close to its ATH, and only needs a 4% price increase to retest the $3.66 mark.

A successful move above the $3.66 resistance could push the price up to $3.80 or higher, setting a new ATH and invalidating the bearish scenario.

XRP’s price movement in the coming days will depend heavily on whether confidence can return to the market.

Until then, XRP faces a crucial test. A failure to hold above $3.38 could lead to a deeper correction, especially if broader market sentiment turns negative.

For now, traders should remain cautious. The weakening investor momentum suggests that the recent rally may have run its course, at least temporarily.
12 / 12
Whether XRP rebounds or continues to slide will depend on market confidence. Long-term investors and new entrants alike will need to see compelling reasons to re-enter the market.
