Following a dip to $1.91 earlier in the week amid Bitcoin volatility, XRP stabilized around $1.92-$1.94 on December 22, 2025, drawing $62.9 million in inflows per CoinShares—contrasting $952 million in broader digital asset outflows. Attention remains on the $2 resistance amid ongoing technical hurdles.
XRP traded steadily at $1.9237 (Binance, 10:21 UTC) with spot prices near $1.94 (intraday $1.90-$1.94), bucking market fragility as investors eyed institutional data.
CoinShares' latest report (Volume 265) showed $952 million total outflows ($990M U.S.-led, Ethereum $555M, Bitcoin $460M), blamed on U.S. 'Clarity Act' delays and whale sales. XRP bucked the trend with $62.9M inflows, joined by Solana's $48.5M, highlighting selective demand.
Technicals persist bearishly: key resistance at $1.94-$2.00 (psychological barrier), supports at $1.85-$1.90 and lower ($1.80, $1.60). XRP remains in a descending channel, with on-chain strain—52% supply profitable, top 1% hold 87.6% (slight distribution), active addresses down to ~38,500.
Outlook: range-bound $1.92-$1.96 short-term; bulls eye institutional flows and 2026 catalysts (e.g., ETFs) for $10 potential, bears warn of downtrend if $2 holds.
This resilience underscores XRP's divergence, but $2 breakout is key for reversal.
