XRP Volume Crash Hits 52%-Your Wallet Is About to Get a Reality Check!

by

sigh They say if you want to keep your crypto on track, avoid the chaos of a new week-so it might look like a good idea, but hey, it’s Sunday and the market’s basically wearing a robe and saying “who cares?”

Yesterday, XRP’s trading volumes slumped a whopping 52%, plummeting to $1.06 B. CoinMarketCap reports the dip, but we’re all just hanging on to our coffee mugs wondering if anyone will even notice.

The drop followed what analysts cheekily label the Sunday “flatline.” Coin metrics have, for weeks, shown that crypto markets on Sundays are as exciting as watching paint dry-only sometimes even calmer.

Last Sunday was dead 😵‍💫
But usually, Sundays are just flat.

Don’t sleep on it-be prepared when volatility decides to make a grand entrance.

Maartunn, an analyst at CryptoQuant, done it right-dipped into the Sunday blues with a dash of “there’s a chance it will stir up.” “Don’t sleep on it,” he warns, because nobody wants to scroll through a muted market while the day drags by.

XRP price action

At this very moment, XRP nudges down an average 1.15% in the last 24 hours, trading at $1.81. Early Sunday sells set the tone-like a rainy Wednesday with a side of existential dread.

In the last week alone, XRP has coughed and coughed, dropping 7.82%. Profit‑taking gone rampant, macro‑concerns are the soup-and it tastes bitter.

Since the start of the year, XRP’s climb to a high of $2.41 has stalled. Since January 6, it’s spent only two days in the green before losing the fight and surrendering below the daily 50‑day moving average. The daily MA 50 now clings to a position that feels more like a sad, steadfast exile.

The bulls will have to revive that 50‑day MA and turn it into a moat of support. If they’re successful, we might see a flirtation with $2.18 and $2.41. If the sellers keep up, the next likely floor sits at $1.85.

What’s coming?

Five update squabbles-dubbed “fix amendments”-are scheduled to strike the XRP Ledger mainnet this week. These may polish some features, improve AMM, fine‑tune escrow, tweak clawback, and enhance overall network efficiency.

As of today, XRPL version 3.0.0 is marching towards activation, with the countdown now at 2 days and 13 hours until the potential switch‑over on Tuesday, Jan. 27.

The lineup of upgrades includes fixTokenEscrowV1, fixIncludeKeyletFields, fixMPTDeliveredAmount, fixAMMClawbackRounding, and fixPriceOracleOrder.
