According to Coinglass <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/currencies\/XRP\" target=\"_blank\">data<\/a>, open interest increased by 2% to $7.33 billion, while volume in the derivatives market dropped 34% to $8.06 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Declining volume and rising open interest may indicate that traders are holding positions rather than actively trading, which would reflect market caution.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Technical indicators suggest a cautious outlook<\/strong><br \/><\/h2>\n<p>XRP is positioned just below important short-term moving averages, with both the 10-day EMA at $3.02 and the 20-day EMA at $3.01 flashing \u201csell\u201d signals.

Both the 50-day and 200-day EMAs show underlying strength at $2.79 and $2.34, respectively. Before trying to regain the $3.20 resistance level, XRP might consolidate if it stays above $2.95. The next support zone, which is around $2.50, could be tested if the price breaks below $2.75.<\/p>\n<p>With the MVRV death cross now in play, market participants will be closely watching whether buyers can defend key support levels or if XRP is set for a deeper correction in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP is showing signs of cooling off after its July rally, trading at $2.99 at press time, down nearly 17% from its July 18 all-time high of $3.65.
