XRP<\/a> is currently experiencing a marked retracement phase<\/strong> after reaching an ATH around $3.65 in July 2025<\/strong>. Since that peak, Ripple’s token has corrected sharply and is now trading around $1.35<\/strong>, resulting in the disappearance of approximately $50 billion in market capitalization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This drop has put pressure on many retail investors, with many now sitting on unrealized losses. On-chain data also shows a purge phase in the market<\/strong>, with the liquidation of numerous leveraged positions and an overall sentiment that is significantly more cautious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, for some analysts, this type of correction remains typical of crypto market<\/a> cycles<\/strong>. Extended downtrends often help clean out excess speculation, while certain whales take advantage of these lower levels to accumulate quietly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
