- XRP price dips, but trading volume soars
- Mixed signals: neutral sentiment, narrow range
- SEC lawsuit casts shadow, buying pressure persists
The price of Ripple’s XRP token is currently trading at $0.5144, having dipped 1.21% in the past 24 hours. However, trading volume has surged by a significant 62.96% to $772.3 million, reflecting heightened market activity. The daily range for XRP has fluctuated between $0.5075 and $0.5208. Its market capitalization currently stands at $28.44 billion.
On-chain data reveals interesting trends among XRP holders. The cohort holding between 100,000 and 1 million XRP now controls 11.01% of the total circulating supply. Conversely, the holdings of addresses within the 10,000 to 100,000 group have decreased, accounting for 11.27%. The number of active addresses within a 24-hour period reached a peak of 35,000 on May 18th before dipping to 33,100.
This recent decline in active addresses coincides with the ongoing SEC vs Ripple lawsuit. The lawsuit centers around two key issues: potential fines for allegedly selling unregistered securities (XRP) to institutional investors and a potential injunction on Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform, which clients use to manage liquidity.
Looking at the 24-hour price chart for XRP, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 46.74. This level suggests that XRP is neither overbought nor oversold, indicating a neutral market sentiment. The market may be consolidating before a potential price swing. Additionally, the Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line) sits at 58.96 billion, reflecting significant buying pressure in recent periods and hinting at underlying bullish sentiment.

Shifting to the 4-hour price chart, XRP presents mixed signals. The Bollinger Bands, with an upper band at $0.5293 and a lower band at $0.5088, suggest a narrow trading range for XRP, implying reduced volatility. The current price hovers near the middle band, aligning with the 20-period Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $0.5191. This consolidation phase could indicate a period of price stability before a potential breakout or further decline.
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator currently sits at 0.17, a positive value suggesting that buying pressure is slightly outweighing selling pressure. A CMF above zero typically signifies accumulation, reflecting that traders are entering long positions. This positive CMF reading suggests underlying buying interest, which could support XRP’s price in the near term.
