XRP has faced substantial selling pressure, with the combined cumulative volume delta (CVD) across spot and perpetual futures markets nearing $2 billion. This data point, reported by The Crypto Basic, indicates a notable bearish trend for the cryptocurrency.

The selling pressure has been consistent, occurring from September onwards, as detailed by the outlet. This sustained activity suggests a potential shift in investor sentiment or strategic positioning by large traders.

Despite the broader cryptocurrency market remaining relatively flat, XRP's price has declined by 7.39% over the past seven days. This indicates that the selling pressure may be having a tangible impact on XRP's valuation.

The current market cap of XRP stands at $82.35 billion, with the coin trading at $1.3, showing a slight 24-hour increase of 0.47%. However, this minor uptick does little to offset the longer-term downward trend.

The Fear & Greed index remains in 'Greed' territory at 59, suggesting that while the overall market sentiment is positive, XRP's performance is diverging from this trend.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹135.37 (about $1.31), up 1.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 8.6% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
