Retail Buying Fades, XRP Rally at Risk of Correction

• • The 1-hour chart keeps getting rejected near resistance, a sign buyers are running out of steam.
• • On-chain data shows net buying volume from holders fell 11%, leaving little foundation for a rally above the psychological level.

XRP's recent climb is not backed by consistent retail participation. The price has managed to hold around $1.05, but the latest on-chain data shows net buying from holders fell 11%. That suggests the move is being driven by short-term derivatives trading rather than organic spot accumulation. On the technical side, price has repeatedly failed to break through the supply zone on both the daily and 1-hour charts. Without fresh capital coming in, a structure like this is an easy target for profit taking. Over the next 3 days, XRP looks set to slide toward the nearest support at $1.03. If spot selling picks up, the drop could extend to the psychological level at $1

A sudden wave of whale inflows could flip the direction at any time. This bearish scenario is invalidated if the price rebounds firmly above $1.085.
