A lower inflow reading can reduce the risk of sudden sell orders from large holders, especially during volatile market periods.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<p>The latest drop also matches earlier crypto.news coverage, which reported that XRP whale inflows to Binance had already fallen to multi-year lows in January. At that time, the trend pointed to lower short-term selling pressure as XRP tried to hold its range.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Price stays near key resistance<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s native token (XRP) traded near $1.42, with a 24-hour trading volume above $2.64 billion and a market cap near $87.5 billion, according to crypto.news data. The token was down about 1.4% on the day but remained up 3.5% over the past seven days.<\/p>\n<p>Analyst Ali Martinez said XRP needs a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2051948834612539459?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">confirmed<\/a> move above $1.45 to bring $1.80 back into focus. \u201cA confirmed close above $1.45 could open the door to $1.80,\u201d he said, according to market commentary shared on X.<\/p>\n<p>That level remains important because XRP recently failed to hold above the same resistance area. Until buyers reclaim it with steady volume, the token may continue to trade inside a familiar range.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ETF demand adds market support<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>XRP has also gained support from ETF-related demand. As Crypto.news reported, U.S.-listed XRP ETF products pulled in $81.63 million in April, marking their strongest monthly inflow total of 2026.<\/p>\n<p>That April inflow fully reversed March\u2019s record monthly loss. XRP ETFs built a 20-day inflow streak before that run ended on April 30.<\/p>\n<p>The ETF trend gives XRP another demand source at a time when Binance whale deposits are slowing. However, inflows alone have not pushed XRP into a clear breakout. Price action still depends on whether buyers can clear the $1.45 area.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bulls watch $3.35 long-term level<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Some analysts are also watching XRP\u2019s higher timeframe setup. Market commentary from CW said XRP is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CW8900\/status\/2051997331302875251?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">showing<\/a> a bullish signal on the three-week chart after the RSI crossed above its moving average.<\/p>\n<p>The same analysis said the bigger rally would require a break above the old high near $3.35. That level sits far above the current market price and remains a long-term resistance zone.<\/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.
