amid expectations of a price rebound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"144\" data-end=\"626\">XRP\u2019s price is under pressure, extending a two-week downtrend that has placed the token in a vulnerable spot.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"144\" data-end=\"626\">Yet, a deeper look at on-chain and derivatives market data reveals a contrasting trend.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"144\" data-end=\"626\">Traders are actively accumulating XRP, and institutional interest is gaining ground through futures contracts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"144\" data-end=\"626\">With $223 million in open interest on CME within just 10 days of XRP futures launch, the token is seeing new attention despite its price falling below key resistance levels.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"628\" data-end=\"674\">CME XRP futures hit $223 million in 10 days<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1107\">The sharp rise in open interest for XRP futures on CME suggests institutional activity is increasing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1107\">Typically, a spike in open interest is associated with traders taking short positions, potentially signalling bearish sentiment.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1107\">However, in this case, the narrative appears to be shifting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"676\" data-end=\"1107\">XRP\u2019s addition to CME Futures expands access to large investors, potentially attracting longer-term capital rather than speculative trades.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1415\">Data shows that funding rates have remained mostly positive for three weeks, turning negative only once.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1415\">This sustained positive rate implies that long positions are dominant, suggesting more traders are betting on a price rise than a fall.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1460\">Exchange reserves drop by 50 million XRP<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1758\">At the start of the month, XRP balances on centralised exchanges rose, indicating selling pressure.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1758\">But over the past two weeks, those reserves have declined by around 50 million XRP, valued at over $114 million.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1462\" data-end=\"1758\">This trend reversal indicates strong outflows, often associated with accumulation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"2045\">Withdrawals from exchanges typically mean that traders are shifting their tokens to cold storage or long-term holdings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1760\" data-end=\"2045\">In XRP\u2019s case, this suggests buyers are positioning themselves ahead of a potential rebound, possibly driven by FOMO (fear of missing out) due to low current prices.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP is trading at $2.27 with strong support<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2320\">At the time of writing, XRP is trading at the 2.27 support level.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2320\">The two-week downtrend has so far capped upward movement, and a break below the support could push prices down to $2.12 \u2014 the next key level.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_312298\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-312298\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"size-full

level holds and demand from both institutional and retail buyers continues, XRP could mount a recovery.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2322\" data-end=\"2578\">A successful rebound could send the token towards $2.38, validating the recent futures market activity and accumulation behaviour.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2815\">This would confirm growing investor interest and may signal the end of the current correction phase.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2815\">On the other hand, a loss of support could prolong the downtrend, invalidating the optimistic outlook and delaying any price recovery.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"3268\">While XRP\u2019s short-term technical indicators remain weak due to its declining price, broader market signals are more positive.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"3268\">Rising futures open interest, positive funding rates, and declining exchange reserves are usually precursors to bullish price action.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2867\" data-end=\"3268\">These signals suggest that a growing number of investors expect XRP to recover soon, with current levels viewed as an attractive entry point.<\/p>\n<div
