After experiencing months of downward pressure, XRP prices have recently entered a clear consolidation phase. Although the downward trend formed since late July has not been completely broken, the repeated buying around the $1.8 level indicates that selling momentum is gradually weakening. The price stabilizing rather than continuing to decline is a key signal in the current XRP market structure.
An important change comes from the funding side. XRP ETF funds have achieved net inflows for the seventh consecutive week, with a stable weekly increase of about $64 million, continuously altering the market supply and demand structure. Unlike short-term speculation, this type of structural capital is more oriented toward long-term allocation, with the direct result being the gradual absorption of circulating supply, thereby reducing the probability of rapid price declines. As of now, the total assets under management for XRP ETFs have approached $1.24 billion, which also explains why XRP prices can hold key support levels amid increased macro volatility.
It is worth noting that the inflow of funds has not immediately pushed prices higher; instead, it mainly serves to absorb selling pressure rather than chase higher prices. This “accumulation” pattern often appears during the transition from a downtrend to stabilization. Standard Chartered Bank previously predicted that by 2026, XRP prices could rise by approximately 330%, with the core logic based on increased ETF participation and gradually clearer regulatory environments, rather than short-term emotional trading.
From a technical perspective, XRP is still operating within the downward regression channel established since July, but recent pullbacks have touched the lower boundary of the channel at the $1.8 demand zone. Historically, this area is more prone to energy decay rather than accelerated decline. The MACD indicator has begun to recover upward, and the price remains above the demand zone, indicating that buyers are working to build higher lows.
If the $1.8 support remains effective, XRP prices are likely to move toward the supply zone above the channel, with the next target possibly around $3. Conversely, if the price effectively breaks below $1.8, the current stabilization structure will fail, and downside risks will reopen.
Overall, XRP is in a critical transition phase from a long-term downtrend to stable accumulation. Continuous inflows of XRP ETF funds, repeated confirmation of demand zones, and improvements in technical momentum provide a foundation for gradual price recovery, but a trend reversal still requires further validation.

XRP Surges 24,602% Despite Ripple's Ongoing Sales — Debate Reignites Over Token Dump Claims
Viral thread claims Ripple sells XRP monthly to fund operations and dilute holders. It cites 100B total supply, 55B locked, 1B/month release, 70–80% relocked, and 200–300M XRP for ops (~$400M/mo); critics say price tracks Bitcoin and escrow dilution fades.
Abstract: The article examines claims that Ripple systematically sells XRP to fund operations, detailing the tokenomics (100B XRP, 55B in escrow with 1B/mo release and relocking, 200–300M for ops) and presenting counterarguments that XRP price movements align more with Bitcoin, not ongoing sales, while escrow shrinkage reduces future dilution and XRP has posted large gains since inception.
