XRP News Today: XRP's Bullish Fundamentals vs. Death Cross: Can Institutional Cash Flow Spark a Rebound?

XRP, the native token of Ripple (XRP), has seen a turbulent trading week, with its price slipping to $2.32 as of November 11, 2025, amid mixed signals from market fundamentals and technical indicators. Despite a 210% surge in Ripple USD (RLUSD) transaction volume to over $4 billion in the last 30 days, according to a Crypto News report, the token remains on edge as broader crypto markets grapple with post-liquidity cascade volatility. The RLUSD stablecoin, launched less than a year ago, has now crossed the $1 billion supply milestone, according to the same Crypto News report, a development that could bolster XRP's utility in cross-border settlements. However, this growth has not yet translated into sustained price strength, as XRP continues to trade below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, according to a Coinotag report.

The recent bearish shift was amplified by XRP's 9% price drop following Ripple's Swell conference in New York, where the company announced a $500 million funding round led by affiliates of Citadel Securities and Fortress Investment Group, according to the Coinotag report. While this injection of capital was intended to accelerate blockchain adoption, the market reacted with profit-taking, pushing the token below $2.40, according to the same Coinotag report. Technical analysts note that XRP's failure to break above this level has invalidated key bullish patterns, including an ascending triangle formation, according to the same Coinotag report. The token's decline has also triggered a death cross—a bearish signal when the 50-day and 200-day moving averages cross—according to a Crypto News report.

Yet, not all signs point to a prolonged downturn. XRP's double-bottom technical pattern at $2.1838 offers a potential floor for the token, according to the Crypto News report, while recent ETF developments could act as a catalyst. Bitwise and 21Shares have advanced their spot XRP ETF filings, according to the same Crypto News report, with 21Shares recently submitting an 8(a) filing, triggering a 20-day automatic review period, according to a TradingView article. If approved, these products could inject institutional liquidity into XRP markets. However, delays caused by the U.S. government shutdown have pushed back regulatory timelines, according to a CoinEdition article, adding uncertainty for investors.

Market sentiment remains cautious, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index hovering near 31 (Fear), according to a Economic Times report. XRP's price action reflects broader altcoin weakness, as Bitcoin's pullback below its 50-week SMA has dragged correlated assets lower, according to a CoinEdition article. On-chain data reveals a 34% surge in daily trading volume to $6.14 billion, according to a Economic Times report, but this has been accompanied by heavy selling pressure. For instance, the Canary XRP ETF's launch on Nasdaq initially drove inflows but quickly triggered profit-taking, sending XRP to a 24-hour low of $2.45, according to the same Economic Times report.

Looking ahead, analysts are split on XRP's trajectory. A bearish scenario envisions a retest of $1.9 support as the token remains tied to Bitcoin's downtrend, according to a CoinEdition article, while bulls cite Ripple's recent acquisitions—Hidden Road and GTreasury—as potential drivers of institutional adoption, according to the Crypto News report. The key will be whether XRP can reclaim the $2.40–$2.50 range, according to a Coinotag report, with volume spikes signaling possible reversals. For now, the token appears trapped in a consolidation phase, with a neutral RSI of 49.98, according to a Economic Times report suggesting no immediate directional bias.
