Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP face capital exit amid ETF outflows Interest in crypto investment products has remained shaky amid the United States (US) and Israel’s war with Iran, which is now in its second month. US President Donald Trump claimed military success on Wednesday, even as the war rages on. Meanwhile, Iran is widening its attacks, with Gulf nations reporting fresh missile and drone attacks on Thursday. Risk assets, including crypto and stocks, are slipping lower, amid pressured conditions as risk-off sentiment persists, while Oil prices surge. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Oil price is back above $100, after hitting a daily low below $93. Further escalation of the war could see Oil prices surge, driving macroeconomic uncertainty.

Technical View on XRP: Bearish Pressure Near Support Zone XRP continues to trade within a well-defined downtrend channel, with recent price action showing consolidation above a key support—often a precursor to continuation downward. Currently, XRP is trading around $1.29–$1.34, struggling to hold short-term support and failing to reclaim higher resistance levels. Moving Average Structure (Bearish Continuation Pattern) 20 EMA: $1.37 50 EMA: $1.44 100 EMA: $1.61 200 EMA: $1.87 Price remains below all major moving averages Repeated rejection at the 20 and 50 EMA clusters Wide gap between the 100 and 200 EMA → Strong overall weakness Confirmation of moving average alignment supports the continuation of the bearish structure Fibonacci Levels and Structure 0.786 Fib: $3.11 0.618 Fib: $2.69 0.5 Fib: $2.39 0.382 Fib: $2.09 0.236 Fib: $1.71 Fib 0: $1.11 Price is trading below the 0.236 level ($1.71), confirming breakdown from the higher time frame structure Current Range: $1.28–$1.37 Price is pressing near support within the descending channel Market Structure View Clear downtrend channel remains intact Lower highs and lower lows continue to form Weak rebound attempts fail below resistance Liquidity stabilizes below $1.28 support Pressure suggests a potential breakdown RSI Momentum RSI: 36–43 Below neutral 50 → Bearish momentum No strong bullish divergence Momentum remains tilted toward the downside 📊Key Levels Resistance $1.34–$1.37 (Short-term resistance / EMA zone) $1.44 (50 EMA) $1.71 (0.236 Fib – Major resistance level) Support $1.28 (Range support) $1.20–$1.15 (Demand zone) $1.11 (Major support / Fib 0) 📌Summary XRP is positioned near the range support within a strong downtrend, showing weakness rather than accumulation. Failure to reclaim $1.35–$1.40 maintains downward pressure Range pressure near support increases the likelihood of a breakdown The overall structure remains bearish unless a trend reversal occurs 📉Scenarios 🔴Bearish Scenario: Break below $1.28 → Target $1.20 → $1.11 🟢Bullish Scenario: Reclaim $1.37 → Push toward $1.44 → $1.60 XRP is approaching a critical breakdown zone, and ongoing weakness could trigger the next phase of broader downward movement. $XRP

Ripple subsidiary Ripple Prime received a BBB rating, placing it in the lower tier of investment-grade bonds. The rating isn't particularly impressive, but it at least indicates that its brokerage and clearing businesses have reached a stage where they can be priced separately by the market. The parent company previously invested heavily, and after acquiring Hidden Road, it started turning a profit. These developments are somewhat positive for $XRP 's sentiment, and in the short term, they seem more like a continuation of the narrative rather than a direct trend reversal.
