*What’s driving it*
1. *Selling pressure*: Broke below $1.44 on high volume = active selling, not quiet drift
2. *ETF landscape*: No US spot XRP ETF yet as of latest verified info. Europe has XRP ETPs on SIX/Xetra. XRP ETF tickers like XRPI +1.33%, XRPT +2.71% today even as spot fell
3. *Catalysts ahead*: Analysts flag CLARITY Act markup, Iran ceasefire holding past Apr 22, and Fed meeting Apr 28-29 as key. Base case sees $1.40-$1.55 into month-end
*ETF snapshot*: XRPI $8.38 +1.33%, XRPT $48.93 +2.71%, XRPC $15.84 +1.54%
XRP’s correcting after a strong week. That $1.40 level is the battleground — hold it and we could see another run at $1.55, lose it and $1.30 comes into play.
