XRP Traders Hit 47% Losses as Santiment Flags Historic Dip-Buy Setup

MVRV helps traders compare current market value with realized value, making it useful for spotting whether holders are sitting on heavy losses or profits. The measure can highlight capitulation risk, trader exhaustion, and potential rebound conditions after heavy selling. Santiment said “weak MVRV readings alone do not guarantee a reversal,” though they can show that “the majority of panic selling has already occurred.” Those conditions can leave more responsive to catalysts tied to exchange-traded funds (ETFs), regulatory clarity, and Ripples adoption narrative.

ETF Inflows and Weak Sentiment Shape s Setup

Recent market data shows institutional and treasury-related interest continuing while retail sentiment remains weak. fell nearly 6% over the past week during broader rotation, yet XRP-focused investment products still recorded $1.55 million in inflows while spot saw $333.71 million in outflows.

The firm also warned that hype-heavy periods can appear near local tops, as “too many traders are already positioned bullishly,” leaving fewer new buyers available to sustain rallies. That shift in positioning has coincided with fading confidence among short-term holders after ’s sharp retracement from late 2024 highs. Santiment noted:

“Historically, this kind of fear and skepticism has often acted as a contrarian signal for s price.”

Institutional flows remain uneven. Goldman Sachs exited and ETF positions during the first quarter of 2026 while keeping sizable bitcoin ETF exposure. That split shows how crypto fund demand remains selective, even as XRP sentiment reaches depressed levels. Santiments data places the next XRP move around trader exhaustion, ETF demand, and whether panic selling has already peaked.
