A prominent market strategist has issued a stark, public warning against the former institutional favorite, $XRP : "Do not touch XRP anymore."
The statement is fueling a debate about XRP's long-term future, citing a confluence of persistent issues that are driving away capital and momentum traders.
📉 1. Stagnant Price Action Scares Momentum Traders
While other major cryptos and emerging sectors have rallied, $XRP has been locked in a narrow, frustrating range for months. For traders focused on quick returns, the asset is failing to deliver.
Key Concern: Lack of volatility and immediate failure of weak breakout attempts.
Result: Reduced interest from retail and professional momentum traders.
⚖️ 2. Legal Uncertainty Still Looms Large
Despite Ripple's partial court victories against the SEC, analysts warn that the legal battle is not completely settled.
Analyst View: Regulatory pressure could resurface at any time.
Impact: Exchanges remain cautious, and institutional investors are deterred by the lingering need for full regulatory clarity.
🔄 3. Market Rotation is Leaving $XRP Behind
Capital is aggressively chasing new trends, resulting in XRP being ignored in the current narrative cycles.
Capital Flowing Into: AI, Layer-2 ecosystems, Meme tokens, and new sectors like DePIN and RWA (Real-World Assets).
Problem: XRP is not part of any major hype cycle, causing funds to naturally gravitate toward faster-moving, trend-aligned assets.
🛑 4. Declining Liquidity
Lower trading volume is creating unfavorable conditions for active traders.
Consequences: Increased price slippage and slower market responses, which reduce the probability of successful breakouts.
Strategist Warning: Declining liquidity makes a coin unattractive for both swing and intraday trading strategies.
