XRP (XRP)

bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that XRP's price momentum is slowing after a recent surge to $1.69, with the token currently trading at $1.42. The asset opened at $1.0014 on August 19 and has gained 46% over seven days, though it recently declined 12% from its weekly high. Optimism was bolstered by a meeting between President Trump and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who discussed the CLARITY Act to split regulatory authority between the SEC and CFTC.
Despite this political support, XRP has underperformed other top ten assets and is facing resistance near $1.55. The token recorded its second consecutive day of decline, closing at $1.4554 after opening at $1.4818. This cooling momentum has led some investors to reassess their strategies amid increased volatility.

How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio's spot data for XRP shows a price of $1.42 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.9%, indicating that buying pressure has slightly exceeded selling pressure over the full day. However, shorter-term readings show a shift, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 45.3% and the 4-hour ratio at 48.7%, suggesting that immediate buying interest is fading. The 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$945,086, meaning more volume was sold than bought in the last hour, while the 24-hour delta is positive at +$8,976,592. This divergence indicates that while the day ended with net inflows, the most recent trading activity is dominated by sellers. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is -$5,877,696, reflecting that net selling pressure outweighed buying pressure at the close despite the higher buy ratio. Only 8 out of 24 hours saw net buying, highlighting that the positive volume delta was likely driven by specific periods rather than consistent demand.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What XRP did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 48.9%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 51.9% an increase of 3.0 points above the weekly norm. Volume for the day was 0.51x the weekly average, indicating that trading activity was roughly half of what is typical for this asset. The 8-day volume delta total was -$61,148,055, showing that net selling has been the dominant force over the longer timeframe despite the recent price rise. This contrasts with the 24-hour positive delta, suggesting that the recent buying surge may be short-lived or isolated. The price has changed +28.7% over 8 days, yet there were zero days of net buying in the weekly data, pointing to a disconnect between price appreciation and consistent accumulation.
