XRP Stuck Below $2? Larry David Says, “Pretty, Pretty Bad”

So, this week, the altcoin market decided to have a little party, huh? Big whoop. Macro FUD’s still hanging around like that one guest who won’t leave, and the FOMC meeting’s like, “Oh, let’s pull back on rate cuts.” Great. Just what we needed. Investors are now rotating capital into crypto like it’s a buffet they’re not sure they want to pay for.

And Ripple [XRP]? Oh, it’s following the crowd, like that guy who always shows up late and still thinks he’s the life of the party. Popped 2.13% on the weekly chart, big deal. Still stuck in the $1.70-$1.80 band. Haven’t broken that since the 2024 election. Wow, what a floor. Dip buyers, step right up! Or don’t. Whatever.

Altcoin Season Index is up 10 points? Yawn. Bitcoin dominance testing 60%? Textbook stuff. Rotational setup, they say. Sure, sounds fancy. But let’s be real, it’s like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Bullish picture? More like a blurry Polaroid from 2003.

XRP’s Long/Short ratio at 3.3? Everyone’s long, huh? Well, that’s just great. Because nothing says “confidence” like a crowd betting on the same horse. Meanwhile, the structure’s weaker than my resolve to stop eating sushi. Four lower lows since July? $3.65? That’s so last season. Now we’re back to post-election-rally zone. HODLers? More like HODL-ing their breath.

XRP Sees Accumulation, But Reversal? Yeah, Right

Ripple’s testing investor conviction like it’s a multiple-choice exam they didn’t study for. Institutional side? $23 million in weekly net inflows. Smart money re-accumulating? 42+ wallets holding 1 million+ XRP? Sure, sounds strategic. Or maybe they just forgot they had it. Who knows?

2.11% weekly bounce? Strategic accumulation? Or just a random blip? Who cares. It’s like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. Base for conviction? Sure, if you’re into wishful thinking.

Trend reversal? Don’t hold your breath. Macro FUD’s still the uninvited guest, and capitulation’s on the table like that last slice of pizza no one wants. $2.15 ceiling? Good luck. Fails again? Back to $1.80. Bias stays bearish. Shocking.

Final Thoughts (Because I Have To)

  • Weekly bounce, strong floor, long/short ratio? Sure, sounds bullish. Or just desperate.
  • Four lower lows, $2.15 resistance, $1.80 support? Bearish. But hey, at least it’s consistent.
