After this all-time high the highest selling volume appeared on a single session and this signaled the start of a long-term decline. The bear market The decline is very steep and sustained at first. Then it slows down and finally the market turns sideways. Just as the highest bearish volume appeared at the start of the bearish cycle; reaching the end, the market produces new lows but trading volume is minimum. 18-July 2025 trading volume was 412K. 24-June 2026, right before the lowest price in years, trading volume hit 105K at the peak, four times less compared to last year.

Looking at XRP together with Bitcoin and Ethereum tells you everything you need to know. Additional information is available through the altcoins and the Crypto-related stocks. All these are pointing in the same direction and that is not a bearish continuation. We are looking at positive change. The bearish wave ended in February, the market has been dead (or neutral) for almost six months. The market cannot kill itself, the market wants life, it wants to live like all of us. In order to infuse some life into this market, the whales will make it grow. The market goes down, then the market goes up. The endless duality cycle. The bears and the bulls. Expansion - contraction. Breathe in, breathe out. Inhale - exhale. Night and day. Good and bad. The Moon and the Sun. Namaste.
