XRP has decreased by approximately 2.98% in the past 24 hours. The weekly performance still ranks as a weak sector within the broader market, down 16 percentage points from its peak last month. The price has been oscillating near the lower boundary of the descending triangle, a pattern that typically indicates a continuation trend. Although a breakdown has not yet been confirmed, the market has already accumulated three risk signals, prompting traders to remain cautious during the closing phase of 2025.
Retail and long-term holders are moving out in unison
XRP remains trapped within the descending triangle, hovering near the support line. From December 18 to 27, although the price tested the upper side, the Money Flow Index (MFI) moved in the opposite direction. The MFI tracks the flow of funds in and out of assets. When the price rises while the MFI hits a new low, it indicates that retail investors are cashing out during each rebound rather than accumulating on dips. This selling pressure makes it difficult for XRP to break through the upper boundary of the triangle, repeatedly getting trapped below.
