XRP Maintains Uptrend Despite Institutional Outflows and Market Headwinds
XRP continues to outperform expectations, posting a modest intraday gain from $2.194 to $2.264 on Tuesday—even as institutional flows turned negative for a second consecutive week. The token’s resilience stands out amid a broader market grappling with geopolitical uncertainty and weakening risk sentiment.
CoinShares data revealed $28.2 million in outflows from XRP-related investment products, signaling a cooling in institutional appetite. Yet the token held firm near $2.260, pointing to a potential rotation from institutional to retail or strategic buyers.
Volume-Driven Price Action Signals Accumulation
A notable breakout occurred at 15:00, where XRP spiked 2.5% on 84.7 million in volume. That move was briefly capped at $2.284, a level that now serves as intraday resistance. Price action remained constructive into the close, with a final-hour recovery of 0.9%—from $2.260 to $2.265—driven by strong participation and a series of higher lows.
Additional volume pockets were recorded at $2.280 and $2.284, suggesting those zones could act as resistance if momentum continues. Support remains intact at $2.190–$2.195, a level defended across the last two sessions.
Ripple’s Strategic Roadmap Provides Underlying Support
Ripple continues to deepen its infrastructure footprint with initiatives like RLUSD—its upcoming stablecoin—and recent strategic acquisitions including Hidden Road. While CEO Brad Garlinghouse publicly dismissed speculation about acquiring Circle, he reaffirmed Ripple’s long-term stablecoin ambitions.
In parallel, Ripple is actively exploring tokenized real estate and on-chain asset settlement in global markets, including the UAE. These developments are quietly strengthening XRP’s utility narrative amid uncertain macro conditions.
Market Outlook
Despite institutional hesitation, XRP’s technical structure remains intact and increasingly bullish. Traders are watching for a confirmed breakout above $2.284, which could open the path toward $2.30 and beyond. With retail interest firming and Ripple expanding its on-chain reach, XRP may be preparing for a more decisive move in the sessions ahead.
