The move suggests that investors continue to trim exposure following last week’s broader market pullback.
ETF outflows often reflect short-term risk aversion rather than long-term conviction shifts, but consecutive negative days tend to amplify caution around near-term price action.
For XRP, the timing of the withdrawals coincides with a period of technical weakness across the crypto market.
XRP fell below the $2.00 level earlier this week and is now trading near $1.89, struggling to regain upside momentum. On the 4-hour chart, the asset remains below recent swing highs, with sellers defending rallies aggressively.
Momentum indicators reinforce the cautious tone. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering just above the oversold zone, suggesting selling pressure has eased slightly but not yet reversed. Meanwhile, the MACD remains in negative territory, indicating that bearish momentum is still dominant despite minor stabilization attempts.
The ETF outflows and XRP’s price weakness are unfolding against a wider risk-off environment. Renewed geopolitical tension and fresh tariff threats from U.S. President Donald Trump toward the European Union have pushed investors toward defensive assets, draining liquidity from risk markets, including cryptocurrencies.
As capital rotates away from digital assets, even large-cap tokens like XRP are feeling the impact, particularly when institutional vehicles show sustained redemptions.
Whether XRP can stabilize above the $1.85-$1.90 range may determine short-term direction. A rebound in ETF flows or a broader improvement in risk sentiment could help restore confidence.
Until then, traders are likely to remain cautious, watching for confirmation that selling pressure has fully exhausted.
