The fifth-largest crypto asset is down 11.2% over the last seven days, a decline that extends to 20% when measured from its highest point this month.<\/p>\n<p>XRP\u2019s recent weakness largely stems from ongoing jitters in the crypto market amid growing U.S. and EU trade concerns revolving around a dispute over Greenland. It was further compounded by news that a widely anticipated critical U.S. crypto market structure bill, known as the CLARITY Act, has faced further delays in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of these headwinds, demand for the token has waned. Data from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sosovalue.com\/assets\/etf\/us-xrp-spot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">SoSoValue<\/a> shows that the five U.S. XRP ETFs saw a combined $53.3 million in net outflows, ending their seven-day streak that drew in nearly $70 million into the investment products.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>Investors appear to be shifting toward a risk-off stance while they wait for more definitive signals from both global trade negotiations and the legislative process in Washington. At press time, the Crypto Fear and Greed <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/alternative.me\/crypto\/fear-and-greed-index\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Index<\/a> had entered extreme fear territory after dropping 8 points over the past day to 24.<\/p>\n<p>Cryptocurrencies typically enter a very bearish phase of capitulation or heightened selling pressure when this metric shows such low levels.<\/p>\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">XRP price analysis<\/h1>\n<p>On the daily chart, XRP price has fallen below a multi-month descending trendline that has been acting as a key level of support and resistance during recent price swings. It has also lost the horizontal support level at $2, which has historically served as a psychological anchor for investors and a major pivot point for market sentiment.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">XRP price, MACD, and RSI chart \u2014 Jan. 21 | Source: crypto.news<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Looking at other technical indicators also seems to show that bears are currently at an advantage. The MACD lines have formed a bearish crossover and are eyeing a move below the zero line, while the Chaikin Money Flow index, which gauges the volume of institutional money entering or leaving the asset, is close to moving into a negative reading.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, XRP is likely to test its next key support at the December low of $1.77 over the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>However, the bearish technical outlook is complicated by robust growth in the network\u2019s core use cases. Specifically, XRP is gaining significant ground in RWA tokenization and stablecoin infrastructure. Monthly <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/app.rwa.xyz\/networks\/xrp-ledger\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">data<\/a> reveals a 27% surge in RWA-linked value, now exceeding $400 million, alongside an 11% increase in stablecoin market capitalization on the XRPL network.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, while the immediate path of least resistance appears lower, a sustained close back above the $2.00 pivot point could signal that the fundamental narrative is beginning to outweigh the technical pressure.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer\">\n<div class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__icon\">\n            <svg class=\"icon icon-info\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-info\"><\/use> <\/svg>        <\/div>\n<p class=\"cn-block-disclaimer__content\">\n            Disclosure: This article does not represent investment advice.
