Looking further, various indicators support a continued bearish trend.
According to Santiment’s data, XRP has reported a continued decline in exchange outflow. A decline in exchange flow means XRP withdrawal from exchanges to wallets is reduced.
When there is a high outflow, crypto prices rise because of scarcity, while reduced outflow means lower prices.
