- The XRP token holds the $1.29-$1.34 support zone as price action stays compressed.
- The Relative Strength Index at 39.66 and a descending triangle keep downside pressure in focus.
- Binance deposits and withdrawals fell to 2025 lows, with outflows still leading.
XRP spent the past week compressing inside a narrow $1.34 to $1.29 support zone, reflecting a market that has slowed after a sharp mid-March sell-off. That drop pushed XRP down about 20% and returned the price to an area that has repeatedly capped downside pressure since mid-February.
Each previous visit to this floor produced rebounds of roughly 24% to 26%, yet the latest reaction has remained restrained. XRP added 2.34% in the past 24 hours, but derivatives and transaction data showed participation remained muted. Although the support zone has produced rebounds before, current participation levels remain far below the periods when price swings were more forceful.
Support Holds While Momentum Stays Fragile
Chart structure underscored that slowdown. On the daily timeframe, price remained pinned near support while a descending triangle continued to define the broader formation. That pattern is often tracked as a bearish continuation setup, and the current layout matched weak follow-through in both price and volume.
Additionally, the relative strength index stood at 39.66, placing the asset near oversold territory without yet reaching the 30 threshold. That reading showed sellers still held the upper hand, even as the loss of momentum appeared gradual rather than extreme.
Derivatives Activity Points to a Waiting Market
XRP open interest also reinforced the slowdown. It hovered sideways through early February and fell to about $2.48 billion, down from a yearly peak of $4.55 billion. Futures volume told a similar story, dropping to roughly $3.37 billion from a peak of $15.48 billion.
Since early February, sideways open interest mirrored a pause in conviction rather than a buildup in leverage. Together, those figures indicated that traders had reduced exposure and were not yet committing to a stronger directional move. The flattening in open interest and turnover aligned with the tight range on the chart and the soft price response.
Exchange Activity Hits the Year’s Lowest Point
Exchange activity added another layer to the slowdown. Over the past 30 days, deposit transactions totaled about 310,500, while withdrawals reached roughly 329,400. That left a net negative count of nearly 18,900 transactions, extending the period of outflows even as overall activity weakened.
That imbalance kept exchange flow negative even though headline activity no longer reflected the frantic pace seen earlier in the year. The scale of the drop stood out more against earlier 2025 readings, when 30-day deposits and withdrawals sometimes exceeded 6 million. After a steep slide beginning in mid-2025, those counts settled into a low-activity phase and have now fallen to their weakest level since then.
The data suggested that short-term trading interest had faded, while persistent net withdrawals continued beneath the quieter surface. Even so, withdrawals staying above deposits kept the balance tilted negative despite the broad slowdown in transfers.

Price and Activity Are Sending the Same Message
Price action, derivatives, and exchange flows all pointed to the same condition: reduced urgency. Support continued to hold, but the rebound lacked the participation levels typically seen in stronger moves. A market sitting near support with falling turnover, lower open interest, and the weakest transaction counts of the year showed compression, not expansion.
That combination made the market easier to read: fewer trades, lighter leverage, and continued withdrawals all matched a price structure that remained defensive. For XRP, the numbers left a clear snapshot: price stayed boxed near the floor while activity across major metrics remained subdued. The descending triangle, weak RSI, and reduced trading participation formed a consistent picture of a market still under pressure.
