100M XRP Unlocks from Ripple’s Escrow Wallet, Compounding Technical Weakness

  • XRP has been caught within a long-held bout of consolidation around $0.20, struggling to garner momentum in either direction
  • Although the lack of a consistent USD downtrend may be welcomed by its embattled investors, the cryptocurrency has been flashing some signs of overt weakness as of late
  • One such sign would be the losses it has posted against BTC over the past several weeks
  • Another 100 million tokens were also just moved out of Ripple’s escrow account, which comes as it sees declining trading volume.

XRP has been holding steady around $0.20 over the past few weeks, but it has been caught within a firm downtrend while looking towards its Bitcoin trading pair.

This weakness has primary come about due to the overt strength seen by the benchmark crypto – although XRP is one of the few larger tokens that has been unable to closely track BTC over the past couple of weeks.

In addition to recently surrendering its position as the third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization to stable coin Tether, it has also been seeing a stark decline in trading volume.

Analysts do believe that this weakness will have near-term implications for its USD trading pair – with one trader pointing to a 20% downside target at $0.16.

XRP Stable Around $0.20 as BTC Trading Pair Sheds Value

At the time of writing, XRP is trading up marginally at its current price of $0.20. This is around the level at which it has been stuck around for the past several days.

Concurrently with this bout of sideways trading, the token’s Bitcoin price has been plummeting.

Although this weakness has not had any implications for its USD pair so far, it is possible that this will soon change as its underlying weakness begins mounting.

In addition to seeing a steady decline in trading volume over the past few months, another 100 million XRP was just released from Ripple’s escrow wallet.

A good portion of these tokens may soon find their way onto the spot market – placing some downwards pressure on its price.

“100,000,000 XRP (20,289,609 USD) transferred from Ripple Escrow wallet to Ripple,” Whale Alerts noted.

Here’s How Low This Technical Weakness Could Lead the Token 

As for how low XRP may decline in the near-term, analysts are setting their sights on $0.16.

One respected pseudonymous trader spoke about this target in a recent tweet, explaining that although this does mark a notable short-term decline, a visit to this level could provide traders with a “pretty sweet long” opportunity.

“Poor XRP, just cant catch a break and hands down looks the weakest of all the top 10s. In saying that I think once it scam dumps to 0.16c it might be a pretty sweet long…” he said while pointing to the chart seen below.

The confluence of technical weakness, declining volume, and frequent escrow transfers to Ripple do suggest that XRP will see further downside in the days and months ahead.
