XRP Price Stalls Below $1.50 Despite Three-Week ETF Inflow Streak

XRP has held relatively steady over the past week, but price action remains capped below the $1.50 level despite three consecutive weeks of spot ETF inflows. On the surface, continued inflows suggest institutional support. However, the pace of capital entering XRP products has slowed dramatically.

XRP has held relatively steady over the past week, but price action remains capped below the $1.50 level despite three consecutive weeks of spot ETF inflows. On the surface, continued inflows suggest institutional support. However, the pace of capital entering XRP products has slowed dramatically.

For the week ending February 6, XRP spot ETFs recorded $36.04 million in inflows. By the week ending February 20, that figure had dropped to just $1.84 million a decline of roughly 95% in three weeks. While still positive, the sharp slowdown signals weakening conviction among larger investors.

Technical Indicators Point to Breakdown Risk

From a technical perspective, XRP recently fell below its weekly Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), a level often viewed as a proxy for institutional cost basis. Trading below VWAP indicates that many institutional positions are now underwater, which can limit aggressive dip buying.

Momentum data adds another layer of caution. A potential hidden bearish divergence has formed between price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI), where momentum printed a higher high while price failed to do the same. If XRP loses support near $1.379, analysts warn that downside pressure could accelerate, with $1.25 emerging as the next critical zone.
