XRP experiences a significant drop, plummeting to $2.16 in a volatile crypto market. The recent judicial decision overturning Trump's tariffs adds to investor uncertainty. What are the bearish indicators and outlook for XRP?
The XRP is currently under significant pressure, with its price dropping to around $2.16. This decline comes as the broader cryptocurrency market faces a massive sell-off. The total cryptocurrency market value has dropped by 3.1%, now standing at $3.35 trillion.

This abrupt correction was triggered after a U.S. court overturned the trade tariffs imposed by former President Trump, creating new uncertainty for investors.
The International Trade Court ruled that Trump had exceeded his powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act when he instituted these import duties. While the Trump administration has appealed this decision, it has nonetheless shaken financial markets, with cryptocurrencies not being spared.
The sudden increase in 30-year Treasury bond yields also confirmed panic and uncertainty in the markets.
XRP Price Outlook : Sharp Decline Ahead ?
Currently, XRP is in a precarious position. Firstly, it has dropped and bounced perfectly on its uptrend line (in yellow). This now has extreme probabilities of being liquidated very soon.
The Ripple’s token could therefore drop below $2.12 in the coming days or weeks. And if the price falls below this support, a cascade of selling and liquidation could take XRP into the demand zone it avoided two months ago, between $1.3 and $1.5.
Moreover, the 3-day Woodies CCI has switched to a selling zone, indicating a bearish trend reversal. This signal has not lit up since March 23, just before a 35% XRP plunge.
Several Concerning Factors for XRP :
1. XRP funding rates have been stuck around 0% since February. This means traders are not decisively bullish or bearish – they are undecided. In the absence of a clear direction, prices tend to stagnate or drop.
2. Open interest (the total value of active XRP futures contracts) has dropped by 9.66%, from a peak of $3.52 billion on May 13 to $3.2 billion today. This shows investors are withdrawing money and reducing exposure to XRP.
3. XRP Exchange Traded Products (ETP) saw their largest weekly outflow of $37.2 million. This ended an incredible streak of 80 consecutive weeks of inflows. What’s worse, monthly outflows now total $28.6 million, while other cryptocurrencies continue to see positive inflows.
In summary, given these bearish signals, investors in XRP would be wise to exercise caution in the short term. While the long-term potential of this cryptocurrency remains significant, current market conditions are volatile and unfavorable. Close monitoring of key indicators will be essential for successful navigation in the weeks ahead.
