XRP’s recent struggle to maintain upward momentum has drawn attention across the crypto community, particularly in light of heavy selling activity that’s dominated spot markets over the past week. According to Dom, a crypto market observer posting on X, the digital asset has been facing a wave of selling pressure that has effectively suppressed its ability to break out despite broader market optimism.$XRP spot flowsWe have seen a large amount of market selling over the last week, which is why $XRP has failed to see any sustained upward moves-132M $XRP net market sold Upbit saw the most market sold (-57M $XRP) pic.twitter.com/MrMzEakphH— Dom (@traderview2) May 4, 2025Spot Market Outflows Undermine Price ActionA key factor in XRP’s muted price behavior has been the scale of net market selling. Over the last seven days, a net total of 132 million XRP has been sold across spot markets. This volume of outflows has significantly outweighed buying interest, thereby nullifying any bullish technical signals or momentum that might have otherwise sparked a rally. Dom’s analysis points to this net sell pressure as the primary reason XRP has failed to gain traction, even as other altcoins have seen relief rallies or localized breakouts.Upbit Leads in Net Selling ActivityBreaking down the numbers further, Dom highlighted that South Korea’s Upbit exchange was responsible for the largest share of market-sold XRP during this period. The platform recorded 57 million XRP sold net of buys, making it the single largest contributor to the bearish spot flow imbalance. This suggests that a substantial portion of the downward pressure on XRP’s price stems from regional markets, possibly reflecting profit-taking or repositioning among Korean traders.The dominance of Upbit in this market activity also underscores the importance of monitoring regional exchange flows when evaluating XRP’s price potential. South Korea has historically played a pivotal role in driving volume for XRP, and trends within its trading community can heavily influence global sentiment and price direction.We are on twitter, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1— TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) July 15, 2023Short-Term Weakness, Long-Term QuestionsThe current situation raises key questions about XRP’s near-term outlook. While the token remains one of the most traded digital assets globally and continues to be integral to Ripple’s broader ecosystem and cross-border initiatives, its spot market dynamics suggest that traders are currently more inclined to offload holdings than accumulate. Whether this trend is a temporary correction or a signal of deeper hesitation remains to be seen.What is clear, however, is that market structure and liquidity flows continue to play a critical role in determining price action. Dom’s data-driven breakdown offers a cautionary lens through which to interpret XRP’s price stagnation—not as a failure of fundamentals, but as a byproduct of immediate supply-demand imbalances.Until net inflows begin to consistently outpace outflows, XRP’s attempts to mount a meaningful recovery may remain stalled. Traders and investors alike will be watching closely for a shift in sentiment, especially from influential exchanges like Upbit, to determine whether this period of suppression will give way to renewed bullish momentum.Disclaimer: This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
