XRP<\/strong> is trading at $1.37<\/strong> after a turbulent week: the token is still up 38%<\/strong> over the past 14 days, yet remains nearly 9% below its weekly high<\/strong>. Meanwhile, spot XRP ETFs<\/strong> have recorded ten consecutive days of net inflows, with $26.2 million<\/strong> collected on August 28 alone and more than $1.5 billion<\/strong> accumulated since launch. The divergence between institutional demand<\/strong> and spot price weakness sits at the heart of the current market analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technical Structure: Consolidation in a Key Zone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

XRP is currently trading within a tight range between $1.35 and $1.39<\/strong>, a critical support<\/strong> zone following last week’s leverage flush. This retracement<\/strong> does not yet look like a reversal: the bullish structure remains intact as long as price holds above $1.35<\/strong>. A slip below that level would open the door toward $1.20<\/strong>, a major support<\/strong> level identified on the daily chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the resistance<\/strong> side, the path toward a new rally<\/strong> first runs through the $1.55\u2013$1.60<\/strong> cluster, then $1.68<\/strong>, before reaching the significant ceiling at $1.86<\/strong>. A sequential breakout<\/strong> through these levels would reopen the debate around a retest of $1.98<\/strong>, close to the recent ATH<\/strong>. The RSI and MACD on the daily timeframe suggest a digestion phase rather than a clear bearish<\/strong> dynamic, consistent with a healthy post-rally consolidation read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Goldman Sachs Leads: Institutional Demand Defies Spot Weakness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ETF flows are telling a very different story from the price action. Goldman Sachs<\/strong> has emerged as the top institutional holder of spot XRP<\/a> ETFs with an exposure of $87.4 million<\/strong> according to Q2 13F filings<\/strong>, ahead of Jane Street<\/strong> and Millennium Management<\/strong>. Bloomberg Intelligence<\/strong> analyst James Seyffart<\/strong> describes this flow pattern as “surprisingly resilient,” noting that capital has moved almost exclusively in one direction since launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This divergence between institutional accumulation<\/strong> through regulated wrappers and spot price weakness is explained by the ongoing retail leverage unwind. Large buyers are building positions while retail traders absorb their losses. This is a structurally bullish<\/strong> signal, though it does not guarantee an immediate move: XRP’s<\/a> market cap<\/strong> of approximately $85 billion mechanically limits the marginal impact of each dollar flowing in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ripple’s September 1 Unlock: The Bearish Risk to Watch<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The primary short-term bearish<\/strong> catalyst remains the 1 billion XRP unlock<\/strong> scheduled for September 1 by Ripple<\/strong>. This supply event is already partially priced in, but its actual impact will depend on the proportion effectively sold on the secondary market. Historically, these unlocks generate temporary selling pressure before the market resumes its underlying trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most likely scenario remains a sideways, volatile correction<\/strong> until the unlock is absorbed and flow data confirms the next direction. If ETF inflows hold up after this event, the bull run thesis toward $1.55\u2013$1.60<\/a> gains credibility. Conversely, a break below $1.35<\/strong> combined with a drying up of institutional flows would radically change the technical picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Market Verdict: $1.55 as First Target, the Unlock as the Filter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

XRP’s current setup is that of an asset waiting for a catalyst. Ten consecutive days of ETF inflows<\/strong> and Goldman Sachs<\/strong> sitting at the top of the institutional register are solid underlying signals. But the market is demanding confirmation: the ability to hold support at $1.35<\/strong> post-unlock will be the first decisive test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that level holds and ETF flows remain positive, the next technical target sits at $1.55\u2013$1.60<\/strong>, with a possible extension toward $1.68<\/strong> and then $1.86<\/strong>. The bearish<\/strong> scenario only truly activates below $1.20<\/strong>. Until then, caution is warranted: trade the consolidation, not the anticipation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
