XRP price extended losses and traded below $1.320. The price is now 
consolidating losses and faces hurdles near $1.2880 and $1.30. XRP price 
started another decline and traded below the $1.280 zone. The price is now 
trading below $1.280 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a 
bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.3150 on the hourly chart of 
the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could continue to move 
down if it stays below $1.30. XRP Price Dips Below $1.280 XRP price failed to 
stay above $1.320 and extended its decline, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The 
price declined below $1.3050 and $1.30 to enter a short-term bearish zone. The 
price even extended losses below $1.2880. A low was formed at $1.2752, and the 
price is now consolidating losses well below the 23.6% Fib retracement level 
of the downward move from the $1.3642 swing high to the $1.2752 low. The price 
is now trading below $1.2880 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If 
there is a fresh recovery move, the price might face resistance near the 
$1.2920 level. The first major resistance is near the $1.2960 level. The main 
resistance could be $1.3150 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward 
move from the $1.3638 swing high to the $1.2677 low at $1.320. A close above 
$1.320 could send the price to $1.3275. The next hurdle sits at $1.340. There 
is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $1.340 on the hourly 
chart of the XRP/USD pair. A clear move above the $1.340 resistance might send 
the price toward the $1.3550 resistance. Any more gains might send the price 
toward the $1.3750 resistance. More Losses? If XRP fails to clear the $1.3150 
resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the 
downside is near the $1.2750 level. The next major support is near the $1.2550 
level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $1.2550 level, the 
price might continue to decline toward $1.2320. The next major support sits 
near the $1.220 zone, below which the price could continue lower toward $1.20.

XRP Price Slips Back Into Danger Territory With Bears In Control

On-chain data shows exchanges recently received the largest XRP deposit wave 
of 2026, before withdrawals completely flipped the trend. XRP Has Seen Massive 
Outflows That Reversed The Earlier Deposits As pointed out by on-chain 
analytics firm Santiment in an X post, exchange-activity related to XRP has 
occurred on a notable scale in both directions recently. The indicator of 
interest here is the &#8220;Exchange Flow Balance,&#8221; which measures the net amount of 
a given asset that&#8217;s moving into or out of the wallets connected to 
centralized exchanges. Related Reading: Ethereum Price Falls, But Whales Push 
Holdings To 10-Week High When the value of the indicator is positive, it means 
traders are depositing a net number of tokens to these platforms. As one of 
the main reasons why investors their transfer their coins to exchanges is for 
selling-related purposes, this kind of trend can be bearish for the 
cryptocurrency. On the other hand, the metric being below the zero mark 
suggests the outflows are overwhelming the inflows and a net amount of the 
asset is exiting exchange-associated addresses. Such a trend can be a sign 
that holders are accumulating, which can naturally have a bullish effect on 
the coin. Now, here is the chart shared by Santiment that shows the trend in 
the XRP Exchange Flow Balance over the last few months: As displayed in the 
above graph, the XRP Exchange Flow Balance observed a huge positive spike on 
Thursday, suggesting that a notable amount of the asset entered into 
exchanges. Interestingly, this move from traders arrived as the cryptocurrency 
slumped to a local bottom around $1.27. In total, the spike in the Exchange 
Flow Balance observed 22.80 million tokens shift to exchanges, representing 
the largest daily net inflow of 2026. Given the timing, it&#8217;s possible that 
investors made these deposits to participate in panic selling as the coin&#8217;s 
price went down. Contrary to what these traders may have feared, though, the 
cryptocurrency&#8217;s price actually saw a rebound after the inflows. The analytics 
firm noted: The massive flow of coins moving on to exchanges occurred right at 
the local bottom for $XRP’s price, leaving many retail traders who decided to 
sell off at the lowest price in 15 weeks… wishing they hadn’t. Related

From the chart, it&#8217;s visible that as the rebound started, other investors, or 
some of the same traders, decided to take XRP supply off exchanges instead. 
This negative spike, involving the withdrawal of 25.24 million tokens, more 
than made up for the massive inflows, thus reversing the trend in the exchange 
supply. XRP Price XRP breached the $1.36 mark during its recovery surge, but 
the coin has since retraced again as its price is now trading around $1.30.

Ethereum price started a fresh decline and traded below $1,980. ETH is now 
consolidating below $2,000 and might continue to move down. Ethereum remained 
in a bearish zone after a fresh decline below $2,000. The price is trading 
below $2,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish 
trend line forming with resistance at $2,010 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD 
(data feed via Kraken). The pair could continue to move down if it stays below 
the $2,020 zone. Ethereum Price Extends Decline Ethereum price failed to 
remain stable above $2,020 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH 
price dipped below the $2,010 and $2,000 levels. The price even traded below 
$1,980. A low was formed at $1,955, and the price recently attempted a minor 
recovery wave. There was a move above the 50% Fib retracement level of the 
downward move from the $2,035 swing high to the $1,955 low. However, the bears 
remained active near $2,000. There is also a bearish trend line forming with 
resistance at $2,010 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD. Ethereum price is now 
trading below $2,000 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If the bulls 
remain in action above $1,955, the price could attempt another increase. 
Immediate resistance is seen near the $2,000 level and the 61.8% Fib 
retracement level of the downward move from the $2,035 swing high to the 
$1,955 low. The first key resistance is near the $2,020 level. The next major 
resistance is near the $2,050 level. A clear move above the $2,050 resistance 
might send the price toward the $2,080 resistance. An upside break above the 
$2,080 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated 
case, Ether could rise toward the $2,120 resistance zone or even $2,150 in the 
near term. More Downside In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the $2,000 
resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is

Weiss Crypto says Bitcoin may be approaching one of its strongest buying 
opportunities in years, with senior analyst Juan M. Villaverde arguing that a 
coming pullback could mark the final confirmation that the market’s bearish 
phase has ended. In a post on X, Weiss Crypto said its latest cycle analysis 
shows “exactly how low BTC could drop before this bear market ends” and why 
that could be “great news for the next leg up.” The comments came alongside a 
new video analysis from Villaverde, who said several of his macro, liquidity 
and cycle models are again pointing in the same direction: short-term 
downside, but within a broader constructive setup. Bitcoin Pullback Seen As 
Bullish Confirmation Villaverde said Bitcoin has largely continued to trade in 
line with macro signals, despite temporary deviations around geopolitical and 
legislative events. He pointed to a February low that his framework had been 
tracking since last year, followed by a rally that he said was weaker than 
expected. “We&#8217;ve been looking at this February bottom since last year. We&#8217;ve 
been talking about a Q4 correction since Q4 of last year. We were expecting a 
sell-off into February,” Villaverde said. He added that he began buying 
Bitcoin in late January because the market was already close to the expected 
cycle window. Related Reading: Bitcoin Short-Term Holders Move 107,760 BTC In 
A Single Day — Details The rally that followed, however, did not extend as far 
as he had anticipated. Villaverde said liquidity and bond-market signals had 
suggested Bitcoin could reach $90,000 or $100,000, but the market was 
disrupted by geopolitical risk, particularly the escalation around Iran and 
the Strait of Hormuz. In his view, that created a two-week deviation from the 
macro path rather than a structural break in the model. “Bitcoin has been 
moving alongside the macro,” he said, after filtering out that period. He 
argued that liquidity topped around the same time as Bitcoin and then began 
moving lower, while bond-market signals also pointed toward a downturn. 
Villaverde said he had been watching whether enthusiasm around the Clarity Act 
heading for a Senate vote could override the bearish short-term signals. “This 
is the only chance Bitcoin has of ignoring the bearish liquidity outlook and 
the bearish planetary models,” he said. But after that catalyst failed to 
generate a decisive breakout, he said the weight of the evidence remained 
tilted toward downside. Analyst Says He Is Not Calling For $50K Bitcoin The 
central point of the analysis was not that Bitcoin is entering a deeper bear 
market. Villaverde stressed that his framework is pointing to a correction 
inside a changed regime, not a collapse. “I just want to zoom out here and be 
very clear. I&#8217;m not predicting 50K. I&#8217;m not even saying it goes below $70K. 
I&#8217;m not even sure it goes below $70K,” he said. “I think that if you&#8217;re 
shorting this, this is not really what my framework is suggesting. My 
framework is suggesting that this is the correction that confirms that the 
bear market is over.” Related Reading: Anchorage Warns Bitcoin Yield Trade 
Could Cap Gains If BTC Rips Higher That distinction is key to the Weiss Crypto 
thesis. Villaverde said the bond-market model, which he described as looking 
13 months ahead, still implies that the February low should not be retested. 
Liquidity, which he said looks forward roughly 12 weeks, has also begun to 
follow that broader path by forming a June-July low and turning toward a 
prospective rally. “If these two do not make new lows, my expectation is 
Bitcoin does not make new lows,” he said. In terms of downside, Villaverde 
said a move toward $60,000 remains possible under his Hurst cycle framework 
without invalidating the bullish structure. Still, he described the $65,000 to 
$66,000 area as more likely because it would preserve a higher low and keep 
the 320-day cycle right-translated, a structure he characterized as bullish. 
Rather than selling spot or shorting Bitcoin, Villaverde said he is 
approaching the setup through options. With Bitcoin near $80,000, he said he 
has been selling calls, while a sell-off would lead him to begin selling puts 
around $70,000, $65,000 or $60,000. The larger implication, according to 
Villaverde, is that Bitcoin may be forming an unusually shallow bear-market 
structure, shaped by institutional demand. “If we see that, that would be the 
most shallow bear market in crypto history,” he said, adding that it may have 
ended with a single low that was not retested. At press time, BTC traded at 
$72,043. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
