According to CoinMarketCap data, XRP fell the most among the top ten cryptocurrencies in the past 24 hours, falling 6.23% to approximately US$1.38.

Market dynamics and price trends

Recently, the cryptocurrency market has experienced an important milestone. Bitcoin fell back to nearly US$78,000 after breaking through the US$80,000 mark earlier this week. Investors are currently paying close attention to core PCE inflation data released later today and Nvidia's earnings reports, which are expected to affect market sentiment and set the tone for the upcoming Jackson Hole Annual Meeting.

Despite the overall improvement in risk appetite this month, the adjustment in XRP exceeds that of similar assets. The token's decline contrasts with the recent overall rally in cryptocurrencies, making it the most lagging performer among major digital assets in the past day.

XRP's price trend has reversed sharply from last week. The token soared from about US$1.00 on August 18 to around US$1.69 four days later, hitting the important psychological barrier of US$1.70. The subsequent correction of Bitcoin led to a general weakening of the altcoin.

Weekly Performance and Technical Signals

Despite the recent correction, XRP still ranks among the top in weekly performance, with a gain of 35.55% in the past seven days. Only Hyperliquid recorded a higher increase (38.65%) during the same period, while XRP outperformed Bitcoin, Ethereum and other major tokens.

On the current daily candle chart, XRP opened at US$1.4344, hitting a high of US$1.4513, and is currently trading around US$1.3790, down 3.86% during the day.

The correction brought XRP back into the $1.40 region, which turned from resistance to support after a breakthrough last week. This is also where XRP breaks upward through the 200-day index moving average, which some analysts interpret as an early signal of a potential trend reversal.

Technical indicators show complex signals. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 66.7, indicating that bullish momentum is continuing, but is close to the 70 mark, which usually signals an overbought condition and an increased possibility of profit-taking. At the same time, the Average Trend Index (ADX) recorded 44.1, well above the trend market threshold of 25, and the DI+ line is still ahead of the DI-line, indicating that a bullish bias still exists.

However, the relationship between short-term and long-term moving averages currently tends to be cautious. The 50-day index moving average is still below the 200-day EMA, highlighting the larger downward trend XRP has endured for most of the year, and the impact of this trend continues despite recent strong gains.

Institutional capital flows and market outlook

A noteworthy development is that XRP-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs)-traditional investment products that track XRP prices without having to directly hold the asset-continue to record capital inflows. These funds have shown net inflows for nine consecutive days, indicating that institutional interest has continued despite recent fluctuations.

Bitcoin's performance in the US$77,000 to US$78,000 range is seen as a key factor in the entire altcoin market, including XRP. Upcoming PCE inflation data and Nvidia's earnings report are considered key drivers in the short term. Analysts pointed out that the $1.40 level is crucial to XRP's short-term prospects: if it can be held, it may be confirmed as a normal correction; if the daily close below this level, it may trigger a further decline towards the previously established support area.

Whether XRP can hold on to the US$1.40 support level or test further will determine whether it can maintain its weekly rally or continue its adjustment. Traders are weighing the latest market catalysts and technical signals.
