Volume during consolidation was much lower than on the breakout, suggesting this move may not be the end yet. After such a long range, itโs unlikely market makers stop here ๐ง
๐ดย $XRPย Stands Out While Crypto Funds Bleed Red
While most digital-asset funds sufferedย $952Mย in outflows last week, XRP quietly stole the spotlight, attractingย $62.9M in fresh inflows - a 34% jump from the prior week. Bitcoin and Ethereum led the exits, hit by Clarity Act delays and renewed "whale selling" anxiety.
๐ Month-to-date,ย $XRPย has amassedย $354.6M, withย $3.244B YTD inflows, signaling institutional confidence even as the broader market wobbles. Spot ETFs mirror the trend, addingย $13.21M in daily net inflows on Dec. 19.
Price-wise, XRP drifts quietly aroundย $1.93, showing that the real story is positioning, not hype. Institutions are signaling where regulatory attention matters - and XRP is the safe harbor while Washington sorts out the calendar. #BTCVSGOLD #CPIWatch #BinanceAlphaAlert #USJobsData #Xrp๐ฅ๐ฅ
$VELOย โ Strength Into Supply Is a Warning, Not a Signal
$VELOย has pushed aggressively into a clearly defined higher-timeframe supply zone, exactly as marked on the chart. The rally from the demand base was clean and impulsive, confirming strong short-term momentum. However, price is now reacting inside premium territory, with upper wicks and slowing follow-through showing sellers stepping in.
This zone previously caused sharp rejections, and current structure suggests a similar outcome. The projected path highlights a potential liquidity grab above highs before a deeper corrective move. A breakdown from this area opens the door for a rotation back toward the 0.0050โ0.0053 demand region, where buyers previously defended price strongly.

Theย #USย Federal Reserve is injectingย $6.8 billion into financial markets via repurchase agreements to ease year-end liquidity stress, marking the first repo move of this size since 2020.
Over the past 10 days the Fed has added aboutย $38ย billion in liquidity as part of broader funding operations.
โก In crypto circles this repo is being interpreted as a potential bullish catalyst, especially against the backdrop of the Federal Reserve having officially ended quantitative tightening earlier this month and having cut interest rates recently.
๐ Altcoin ETF Flows Start to Diverge: ETH Stabilizes, XRP Gains Momentum
US spot Ether ETFs just broke a seven-day outflow streak, postingย $84.6M in net inflows in a single session. This comes after more thanย $700Mย exitedย $ETHย products last week, suggesting selling pressure may be easing rather than accelerating.
Cumulative ETH ETF inflows now sit nearย $12.5B, marking one of the strongest daily reversals this month. While price action remains fragile, flows hint at stabilization rather than panic.
At the same time, XRP ETFs continue to outperform on consistency. Products tied toย $XRPย recordedย $43.9M in net inflows, their strongest day since early December. Notably, XRP ETFs have not seen a single outflow day since launch, pushing cumulative inflows aboveย $1.1B.
Unlike ETH, XRP demand appears incremental and deliberate. Instead of fast rotations, flows suggest gradual positioning - treating XRP more as a strategic allocation than a short-term trade.
๐ Altcoin ETF landscape is fragmenting
Beyond ETH and XRP, capital allocation is becoming more selective:
โข Solana ETFs continue to attract steady inflows, lifting cumulative totals to ~$750M, though volumes remain smaller than XRP. โข Chainlink ETFs added modest but consistent inflows, now totaling ~$58M, reflecting low speculation and longer-term positioning. โข Dogecoin ETFs, by contrast, remain flat, with minimal inflows and declining traded volume.
๐ง The bigger picture
Despite pockets of strength, last week still saw nearlyย $1Bย in global crypto ETP outflows, driven mainly by Bitcoin and Ether funds. Regulatory delays and large-holder selling continue to cap upside.
ETH just snapped a 7-day outflow streak with +$84.6M inflows Monday โ biggest single-day reversal this month after bleedingย $700M+ last week.
XRP? ZERO outflow days since launch. +$43.9M Monday alone,ย $1.1B+ cumulative. Steady accumulation, not rotation.
Meanwhile: โข SOL ETFs:ย $750Mย cumulative, only 3 outflow days total โ slow but consistent. โข LINK ETFs: +$2Mย Monday,ย $58Mย cumulative โ muted but stable. โข DOGE ETFs: FLAT atย $2Mย cumulative, volumes dying ($67Kย Monday = 2nd lowest day in Dec).
The narrative is shifting: ETH = volatile but still institutional-scale XRP = conviction positioning, no panic sellers yet SOL/LINK = incremental, not speculative DOGE = hype faded fast
