Bitcoin this week reached around 72.9K along with the decline in oil prices, such movements during Trump's era have become a common occurrence. Ethereum and XRP lagged behind in this rally, with ETH gaining approximately 1.18%, but unable to keep up with Bitcoin's pace. XRP is even further behind, moving around 0.22% daily. The impact of Trump's economic policies on the crypto market is evident in these selective rallies—some assets stand out while others remain quiet. BTC's strong performance indicates that the correlation with traditional markets still persists.

I just reviewed XRP's price action and things don't look good in the short term. The token dropped again trying to break the resistance at $1.45, falling to $1.41 with high volume confirming that sellers are in control. That's a 3.3% decline in a single session. What's interesting is that despite this bearish pressure, spot ETFs continue accumulating XRP and large on-chain wallets are buying on dips. Ripple also recently locked 700 million XRP as part of its regular supply management. So there’s a disconnect between what institutional players are doing and the short-term price action. Technically, the critical level now is $1.40. If it holds, we could see consolidation before attempting again toward $1.45 and then $1.55. But if it drops below, we’ll likely see a deeper move toward $1.33 and even $1.00 if selling pressure accelerates. The broader chart shows a compression forming, so a significant directional move could be near once this consolidation resolves. Traders are divided. Some see this as accumulation disguised as a dip, others follow the bearish trend that is elevated to two levels of analysis. What’s clear is that XRP remains trapped in a broader corrective structure, roughly 60% below its recent highs. Next week will be crucial to see if $1.40 holds or if we see more weakness.
