XRP Slides 4% Despite ETF Inflows Because Sellers Apparently Didn't Get the Memo

XRP took a 4% hit, sliding from about $1.37 down to $1.33 as sellers kept using every rally as their exit ramp. Even with modest ETF inflows stepping in, the selling pressure simply wouldn't let up. Someone alert the dip buyers — the vending machine ate their quarters again.

Ripple-linked products saw $3.32 million in ETF inflows — a welcome shift after March's outflows. But apparently, that wasn't enough to tip the scales. Exchange liquidity has thinned out considerably, which means once key levels break, things could get spicy in a hurry. The order book is looking thinner than a degen's portfolio after a weekend bender.

The price action tells the story: rising volume alongside falling prices is the classic distribution signal. XRP got rejected near $1.37-$1.38 multiple times, and each bounce just attracted more sellers looking to unload. The token also underperformed the broader market, suggesting capital is rotating elsewhere rather than piling into XRP. Basically, the market voted with its feet and said "nah."

Late-session volatility even pushed XRP down to $1.31 before a minor stabilization, but recovery attempts remained weak. Price is still below major moving averages and stuck in a descending structure — the broader downtrend remains intact. For those keeping score at home, this is what a broken chart looks like when it tries to put itself back together.

Traders are watching $1.33 as immediate support, but the real floor to keep an eye on is $1.28 — a break there would likely accelerate the downside. On the flip side, XRP needs to reclaim $1.35 and then $1.38 to even begin shifting short-term momentum back in favor of the bulls. Until then, it's looking like weak bounces within a bigger downtrend. Bulls holding onto hope like it's a golden ticket, but the price action is giving "waiting for Godot" energy.
