XRP dey stay near $2.02 despite say strong inflows into US spot XRP ETFs still dey — about $20.17M on Dec 12 and na the nineteenth straight day of positive flows. Major winners na Franklin (≈$8.7M) and Bitwise (≈$7.85M), wey push total spot ETF net assets to roughly $1.18B and cumulative inflows close to $975M. Price action dey show compression inside an ascending triangle and a rising channel, with RSI around 42 and MACD compressed — technicals dey indicate consolidation and absorption rather than immediate breakout. Fundamentals don strong: Ripple don finish Rail acquisition, expand custody, treasury intelligence and prime brokerage services, and announce say AMINA Bank don adopt Ripple Payments for Europe. Near-term decision zone na $2.00–$2.06; if price clear pass that area e fit target ~$2.15, while sustained break below channel floor go raise downside risk. For traders, key signals na continued ETF flow trends, volume spikes, volatility expansion from the compressed range, MACD crossovers, and confirmed ascending-triangle breakout. Persistent inflows and better real-world utility raise chance of delayed bullish breakout, but immediate price follow-through still uncertain.
