initially lifted prices following Trump\u2019s announcement now appears to be fading as the market struggles to find direction.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.43.<\/p>\n<p>The price has moved within a narrow range between $1.36 and $1.46, reflecting hesitation among traders after a week where XRP slipped by about 5%, extending its broader downward trend over the past year.<\/p>\n<p>While the recent rally gave traders hope, the follow-through has been weak.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP Ledger activity drops sharply<\/h2>\n<p>One of the most notable developments is the sharp decline in XRP Ledger (XRPL) network activity.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, XRP\u2019s active addresses have fallen by more than 40% within just a few days, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/asset\/xrp\/chart\/addresses\/active-addresses?window=DAY&amp;sma=0&amp;ema=0&amp;priceScale=log&amp;metricScale=linear&amp;chartStyle=line\">data obtained from CryptoQuant<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_363719\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-363719\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\"

width=\"3200\" height=\"1800\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-363719\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: CryptoQuant<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This drop signals a slowdown in user engagement, which often reflects reduced demand in the short term.<\/p>\n<p>Fewer active participants usually translate to less transaction volume and weaker momentum.<\/p>\n<p>This decline contrasts with the earlier optimism that surrounded XRP\u2019s growing number of wallet holders.<\/p>\n<p>While more people may be holding XRP, fewer are actively using it.<\/p>\n<p>This gap between ownership and activity suggests that investors are choosing to wait rather than act.<\/p>\n<p>Such behaviour is common during uncertain market conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Retail growth continues despite the slowdown<\/h2>\n<p>Even as activity drops, the number of smaller XRP holders continues to grow steadily.<\/p>\n<p>This trend points to increasing retail interest in the asset.<\/p>\n<p>A rising base of small holders often signals long-term confidence, even if short-term sentiment is mixed.<\/p>\n<p>It also suggests that XRP is becoming more widely distributed rather than concentrated in a few large hands.<\/p>\n<p>However, growing ownership alone does not guarantee price growth.<\/p>\n<p>Without strong network activity to support it, price movements can remain limited.<\/p>\n<p>This is the situation XRP appears to be facing now.<\/p>\n<h2>XRP price outlook<\/h2>\n<p>XRP\u2019s current price movements reflect a market caught between opposing forces.<\/p>\n<p>On one hand, there is optimism driven by broader adoption and past rally attempts.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, there is clear evidence of weakening participation and fading momentum.<\/p>\n<p>The asset remains well below its previous peak, showing that recovery is still incomplete.<\/p>\n<p>Short-term price action suggests consolidation rather than a decisive move in either direction, with the immediate support level at near $1.33 holding for now.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_363718\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-363718\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
