XRP ETFs Reverse Early-Week Inflows as Price Rejected at $1.45, Weekly Outflows Resume
US spot XRP ETFs saw early-week inflows that reversed into net outflows by week’s end, marking the first weekly decline since late January. Funds recorded inflows of $7.00M, $7.53M and $4.19M from Monday to Wednesday, then outflows of $6.15M on Thursday and a $16.62M withdrawal on Friday — the largest single-day redemption since Jan. 29. Cumulative net inflows eased from a midweek $1.26B peak to $1.24B. Canary Capital’s XRPC remains the largest XRP ETF (≈$266.11M AUM), with Bitwise’s XRP fund close behind (≈$265.42M). XRP price action mirrored flows: the token rose from about $1.27 to a midweek high near $1.47 but met resistance at $1.45 and slipped below a key support near $1.3820, trading around $1.40 as broader market weakness (Bitcoin rejected near $74k) weighed on momentum. Technical commentary highlights an indecisive daily close; XRP/BTC action and whether $1.3820 is reclaimed will likely determine near-term direction. Traders should note the confluence of ETF outflows, BTC resistance and the failed reclaim of $1.45/$1.3820 levels — factors that suggest limited upside near term unless inflows resume or price retakes key levels. Social channels continue to circulate speculative bullish targets (eg. $4), but these remain extended relative to current technicals and flows.
Bearish
The combination of weekly ETF outflows, a notable single-day redemption (largest since Jan. 29), and price rejection at $1.45 with a subsequent break below the $1.3820 support signals downward pressure on XRP. ETF outflows indicate weakening institutional or retail demand into these products, which can reduce buying support. Correlation with Bitcoin — which faced resistance near $74k — adds broader-market headwinds. Technically, an indecisive daily close and failure to reclaim key levels typically favors further consolidation or additional downside in the short term until inflows resume or price reclaims $1.3820 and $1.45. Long-term impact depends on whether ETFs attract renewed net inflows and whether Bitcoin sustains higher levels; absent those developments, upside targets remain speculative and less likely to be achieved imminently.
