XRP News Today: XRP Faces Bearish Pressure as Whale Sales and Technical Signals Worsen Outlook

XRP is under increasing bearish pressure as analysts highlight key warning signals and whale activity intensifies. On August 6, 2025, multiple reports indicate that the digital asset faces the risk of a deeper correction, with technical indicators and on-chain data contributing to growing concerns about its near-term outlook [1].

One of the most notable developments is the sell signal generated by the Tom DeMark Sequential indicator on XRP’s 3-day chart, a widely used tool for identifying potential market tops [2]. This signal aligns with a recent decline in price and suggests that traders should remain cautious. Additionally, the MVRV death cross has appeared on the same chart, further reinforcing the bearish sentiment [3].

Large-scale whale activity has also contributed to the downward pressure. Over 720 million XRP tokens were sold within a 24-hour period, according to recent on-chain data. This level of selling from major holders indicates a lack of confidence in the short-term price trajectory and raises concerns about further price deterioration [4].

From a technical perspective, XRP is currently trading sideways, just below the middle of its Bollinger Bands. The relative strength index stands at 48.8, suggesting a neutral stance, but could turn bearish if it continues to decline. Both the Momentum and MACD indicators remain in negative territory, pointing to underlying selling pressure [5]. If XRP fails to hold above $2.80, it could face further declines toward $2.48, a key support level that traders are closely monitoring [6].

The bearish structure is also supported by lower highs and a rejection from the $3.01 resistance zone, indicating a lack of upward momentum. XRP has slipped below $3.00, reinforcing its weak positioning in a broader market environment where Bitcoin and Ethereum are also encountering resistance [7]. Volume spikes, a MVRV death cross, and significant long liquidations totaling $41.4 million further highlight the structural weaknesses in the asset’s market structure as of August 2025 [8].

Despite a 6% price surge on August 4 that briefly pushed XRP to $3.03, the asset closed at $3.00, with institutional buying and increased trading volume failing to sustain the upward movement. Analysts warn that without strong bullish catalysts—such as regulatory clarity or a major network upgrade—the current bearish trajectory is likely to persist [9].

Market participants are now watching closely to see if XRP can reclaim key psychological levels or whether it will continue to trade within a bearish trend. Given the convergence of whale selloffs, bearish indicators, and structural weaknesses, further downward movement remains a high probability outcome. Traders and investors are advised to remain cautious as XRP navigates a critical juncture in its price action.
