Ripple&rsquo;s new acquisition <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/ripple-acquires-prime-broker-hidden-road-for-1-25-billion\/\">announcement<\/a> helped the sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>But according to analysts at Glassnode, on-chain data <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/glassnode\/status\/1909622126044213728\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suggests<\/a> the Ripple token could face new downside action as recent retail-driven momentum fades. XRP trades at around $1.90, but if retail panics and exits amid fresh sell-off pressure, Glassnode highlights a potential slump.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP&rsquo;s price movement<\/h2>\n<p>According to Glassnode, XRP experienced a dramatic surge in February 2025.<\/p>\n<p>This is because its realized cap shot up, more than doubling as it increased from around $30 billion to $64 billion.<\/p>\n<p>However, this $30 billion inflow, largely driven by new investors and helping XRP&rsquo;s price increase, has cooled off.<\/p>\n<p>This aligns with the dip from highs above $3.30 in late January and February to under $2.<\/p>\n<p>While the broader market conditions, macroeconomic trends, and other headwinds have contributed to this, it&rsquo;s a trend that has come amid a slowdown from retail buyers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_290220\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-290220\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-290220\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">XRP price by CoinMarketCap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Glassnode notes that the percentage of XRP&rsquo;s Realized Cap under investors who bought the token less than six months ago stands at 62.8%.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s up from 23% when a series of positive news helped the XRP price to near its all-time high reached in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;&lt;6M old supply now makes up 62.8% of $XRP Realized Cap, up from just 23%. This rapid concentration in new holders reflects strong retail involvement &ndash; but also raises risk of fragility, as many hold elevated cost bases,&rdquo; Glassnode posted on X.<\/p>\n<p>The scenario is that this group of holders is likely to hit the sell button, even at a loss, should XRP witness a bloodbath.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glassnode\/status\/1909622126044213728\">More bearish predictions<\/a> for XRP come from the profit\/loss ratio.<\/p>\n<p>PnL has declined steadily since early January 2025, suggesting that retail conviction is on the rocks.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Fewer profits, more losses &ndash; usually a sign of waning conviction. With wealth concentrated in new hands, conditions appear increasingly top-heavy and vulnerable.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>Is XRP set for a retest of $1?<\/h2>\n<p>The XRP token is currently changing hands around $1.90 but revisited lows of $1.67 amid &ldquo;Black Monday&rdquo; dump.<\/p>\n<p>Bulls are attempting to break above $2.00, which could be crucial for <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/xrp-price-forecast-breakout-to-27-30-possible-by-late-2025\/\">new momentum<\/a>, given the buy-the-dip calls across the markets.<\/p>\n<p>However, with XRP down 13% in the past month, it&rsquo;s sporting a significant pullback that could accelerate with negative tariff news.<\/p>\n<p>If the correction extends, giving up $1.60 will likely set retail alarm bells ringing. Profit-taking deals amid such a bearish outlook could see sellers target the psychological mark at $1.00.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/xrp-price-risks-drop-to-1-as-retail-momentum-fades\/\">XRP price risks drop to $1 as retail momentum fades<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\">CoinJournal<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/xrp-price-risks-drop-to-1-as-retail-momentum-fades\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) XRP&rsquo;s price movement &ndash; price is up nearly 2% as crypto looks to bounce.
