The mood around XRP has turned quietly tense. After a robust rally, many bulls are now grumbling about the lack of explosive momentum. The plain sideways action is testing patience. Whether that frustration signals genuine weakness or simply the market digesting a major move, it demands a closer look.
Institutional Accumulation Quietly Building
Despite the tedium of range-bound price action, the data show institutional players quietly stacking XRP. Exchange reserves have fallen by 3.36 % since early October — a historically bullish indicator for long-term accumulation.
Meanwhile, large addresses holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP added over 120 million tokens in a short span. Even while the broader retail noise swooned, fund flows surged: global crypto investment products recorded inflows of $5.95 billion in a single week, with XRP among the leaders. The mood under the hood is active.
#XRP – ⚔️ Weakness? Or Just Testing the Faith of Bulls? 💎
Lately, I’ve seen many #XRP Bulls turning #Bearish 😔, frustrated by the sideways chop and the boring price action. They say things like “I see weakness on the HTF.”

Regulatory & ETF Catalysts In Motion
A key driver remains the impending launch of a spot XRP ETF. Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence now estimate an 85 % probability of a spot XRP ETF approval in 2025. A shift in regulatory policy at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) may accelerate that moment.
When the approval lands, it could unlock institutional capital previously sidelined and give XRP a structural floor.
Technical Setup: Sideways Pattern, Poised for Break
From a charting perspective, XRP’s recent movement typifies consolidation. Trading around $2.38 – $2.40, with resistance near $2.54 and support holding firm. Volume recently ran ahead of price, suggesting accumulation is occurring quietly.
If support holds, the setup reads as a base rather than a breakdown. But if $2.38 fails, downside risk increases.
Behavioral Dynamic: Bulls, Bears, and the “Waiting Game”
A notable theme emerges from Egrag Crypto’s X post: many earlier bulls feel bored, boxed in, uneasy at the thought of losing prized 10× gains. Some are now selling “just in case.”

That’s a valid risk-management move. But selling seeds of fear to others because of boredom risks turning patience into panic. For real conviction holders, the quiet accumulation phase is part of the trade.
What to Watch Next
Key levels: a clean breakout above $2.55 would signal fresh momentum; conversely, a breakdown below $2.30 – $2.35 would invite deeper corrective pressure. Monitor ETF filing updates, institutional wallet flows, and on-chain exchange reserve drops. Once the catalyst hits, the current calm could morph into a spike.
In conclusion, XRP is not showing spectacular fireworks right now—but that does not mean the narrative is broken; the next four to six weeks may change the story. According to Egrag, XRP will soon melt faces. The sideways price action may simply be a test of conviction, not a capitulation.
With institutional accumulation building, regulatory catalysts gathering, and crypto fund flows rising, the “boring” phase could be the calm before a significant move. Readers should therefore recognize the current environment as one of preparation, not necessarily exhaustion.
