Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price climbed above the $2.150 and $2.20 resistance

XRP Price Climbs Higher — Is It Finally Turning Attractive to Bulls?

Crypto asset investment products experienced another challenging week as 
capital outflows continued for a second consecutive period. According to the 
latest report from CoinShares, a total of $584 million exited crypto-focused 
investment vehicles, pushing the two-week cumulative outflows to $1.2 billion. 
This movement coincides with investor uncertainty surrounding the likelihood 
of interest rate cuts by the US Federal Reserve this year, which James 
Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, believes is contributing to waning 
sentiment in the market. Butterfill attributed the investor pullback to 
growing skepticism about macroeconomic policy shifts, particularly rate 
reductions. At the same time, exchange-traded product (ETP) activity hit a new 
low, with global ETP volumes falling to just $6.9 billion, marking the weakest 
weekly trading volume since the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs in the United 
States earlier this year. Related Reading: Ethereum Whales Feast While Retail 
Flees—ETH Ocean Just Got Hungrier Bitcoin and Ethereum Bear the Brunt of The 
Crypto Outflows Bitcoin accounted for the majority of this week&#8217;s outflows, 
with $630 million leaving BTC investment products. Despite the significant 
movement of funds out of long Bitcoin positions, short Bitcoin products also 
recorded outflows totaling $1.2 million. This suggests that investors are not 
currently betting heavily on downside exposure, opting instead to stay on the 
sidelines amid uncertain market conditions. Ethereum similarly saw negative 
flow activity, with $58 million in outflows, continuing the trend of cautious 
investor behavior across major assets. The report also highlighted 
geographical breakdowns, noting that the United States led all regions with 
$475 million in outflows, followed by Canada at $109 million. Germany and Hong 
Kong recorded smaller outflows at $24 million and $19 million, respectively. 
In contrast, Switzerland and Brazil stood out as exceptions to the broader 
trend, bringing in net inflows of $39 million and $48.5 million, respectively. 
This divergence suggests that local factors or institutional strategies in 
those regions may be driving different investment behaviors. Altcoins Draw 
Selective Support While sentiment remained bearish for large-cap assets, some 
altcoins managed to attract capital inflows. Solana, Litecoin, and Polygon saw 
modest but notable gains of $2.7 million, $1.3 million, and $1 million, 
respectively. These inflows may reflect opportunistic positioning by investors 
seeking exposure to assets that have underperformed recently. Additionally, 
multi-asset investment products, which spread exposure across various 
cryptocurrencies, recorded $98 million in inflows. This signals that some 
investors are using recent price weaknesses to gain diversified access to the 
market rather than concentrating bets on single tokens. Related Reading: Still

Crypto Funds Hit With Record Outflows, But Altcoin Buyers Smell Opportunity

Ethereum price attempted a fresh increase above $2,600. ETH is now trimming 
gains and might struggle to stay above the $2,500 support. Ethereum started a 
fresh decline below the $2,600 level. The price is trading below $2,575 and 
the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bullish trend line forming 
with support at $2,525 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken). 
The pair could start a fresh increase if it stays above the $2,500 zone in the 
near term. Ethereum Price Corrects Gains Ethereum price found support near 
$2,440 and started a recovery wave, like Bitcoin. ETH price recovered above 
the $2,500 and $2,550 resistance levels. The price even spiked above the 
$2,620 resistance. There was a move above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of 
the downward move from the $2,880 swing high to the $2,440 low. However, the 
bears remained active near the $2,660 resistance zone. The bears defended the 
50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $2,880 swing high to 
the $2,440 low. The price is again moving lower below $2,600. Ethereum price 
is now trading below $2,575 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, 
there is a bullish trend line forming with support at $2,525 on the hourly 
chart of ETH/USD. On the upside, the price could face resistance near the 
$2,620 level. The next key resistance is near the $2,640 level. The first 
major resistance is near the $2,660 level. A clear move above the $2,660 
resistance might send the price toward the $2,720 resistance. An upside break 
above the $2,720 resistance might call for more gains in the coming sessions. 
In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $2,800 resistance zone or even 
$2,880 in the near term. More Losses In ETH? If Ethereum fails to clear the 
$2,660 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the 
downside is near the $2,540 level. The first major support sits near the 
$2,525 zone and the trend line. A clear move below the $2,525 support might 
push the price toward the $2,500 support. Any more losses might send the price 
toward the $2,440 support level in the near term. The next key support sits at 
$2,350. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining 
momentum in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI &#8211; The RSI for ETH/USD is now below 
the 50 zone. Major Support Level – $2,500 Major Resistance Level – $2,660
