- XRP Receives Psychological Support Amid Rising Network Activity:
XRP's price dropped slightly but remained above the psychological $1.00 level on Tuesday.
XRP's ledger is seeing notable network growth, with the number of newly created addresses rising to nearly 5,000, indicating buying on dips.
U.S. XRP ETFs continued their upward trajectory with $15 million in inflows on Monday, but failed to lift price expectations.
Ripple (XRP) remains steady above the key psychological support level of $1.00 at the time of writing on Tuesday, even as the market experiences a prolonged downturn that began in mid-June.
This decline highlights the prevailing risk aversion in the crypto world. However, XRP is seeing renewed momentum, reflected in the sharp rise in blockchain activity and ongoing institutional inflows.
- XRP Network Activity Rising
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is seeing a notable increase in network activity, with the number of new wallets created daily approaching 5,000, a level not seen in the past three months, according to Santiment data. This increase indicates that despite continued price pressure near the $1 level, investor engagement remains strong, as participants take advantage of this important psychological support.

Market sentiment is also turning increasingly positive around the $1.00 level, with positive comments now outweighing negative ones by a ratio of 3.7 to 1, confirming the appeal of this level as a buying opportunity on dips.
"Part of this optimism comes from XRP's familiar history of recovery, the ongoing ETF and institutional narratives, and the idea that large investors continued to build their exposure even during bad price moves," said Santiment analysts.
On the other hand, spot XRP ETFs continue to record cash inflows that defy the current bearish expectations in the crypto market. Cash inflows to U.S.-listed ETFs stabilized above $15 million on Monday, bringing total deposits to $1.48 billion and net assets under management to $972 million.
The ongoing demand for XRP ETFs shows that institutions see a positive picture and are willing to increase their exposure even as prices decline near the psychological support level of $1.00.

Ultra-Liquid Stock Price Forecast: HYPE Stock Faces Critical Test as Bulls Seek to Hold the 200-Day Exponential Moving Average:
Hyperliquid (HYPE) stock is trading under pressure, testing support near $64.00 at the time of this report on Tuesday. This decline comes after a limited rise near $68.00 the previous day, weakening short-term technical outlook.
High liquidity declined amid deteriorating sentiment.
HYPE's short-term bearish trend aligns with the continued weak sentiment in the cryptocurrency market overall, as evidenced by the Fear and Greed Index which reached 15 points on Tuesday, only slightly up from 12 points the previous day. This translates to weak appetite for high-risk assets, limiting gains and recovery potential.

This situation reflects the prevailing pessimism in the broader cryptocurrency market, where the Hyperliquid DeFi ecosystem saw its Total Value Locked (TVL) decline to $5.74 billion as of Monday, down from $6.12 billion on June 18.
TVL represents the total value of assets deposited within the protocol's smart contracts by network participants looking to earn rewards on their HYPE holdings.
The ongoing decline in Total Value Locked (TVL) indicates waning investor confidence, prompting participants to reduce their investments. In contrast, a steady rise in Total Value Locked signals renewed optimism, as investors show a greater willingness to allocate their capital to the protocol's smart contracts.

Meanwhile, demand in the retail sector is increasing, leading to a steady rise in open interest for Hyperliquid perpetual futures. CoinGlass data shows open interest rising to $2.7 billion on Tuesday, compared to $2.4 billion the previous day. If this demand continues, demand for HYPE derivatives may absorb selling pressure in the spot market and help stabilize the rebound above $70.00.

Weekly Bitcoin Forecast: Will Bitcoin price hit a 20-month low, and will this decline continue?
Bitcoin price has fallen 5% so far this week, reaching a new yearly low of 58115 dollars and a low since October 2024.
Spot ETFs listed in the US recorded $1.35 billion in outflows through Thursday, marking the seventh consecutive week of withdrawals.
Geopolitical uncertainty and the Federal Reserve's hawkish policy continue to dampen risk sentiment, negatively affecting Bitcoin price.
Bitcoin (BTC) price edged up to $66,000 on Friday, after hitting a yearly low of $58,115 earlier this week, the lowest since October 2024. Institutional selling intensified as ETFs recorded net outflows of $1.35 billion through Thursday. Additionally, geopolitical uncertainty and the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance continue to weigh on risk appetite, keeping Bitcoin under pressure.
Middle East tensions pressure Bitcoin
Bitcoin price remained under pressure this week, losing over 5% as traders assessed conflicting signals from various parties involved in the Middle East conflict.
The week started with slight progress in US-Iran peace negotiations, initially improving market sentiment. However, in the second half of the week, news emerged of an attack by Iran's Revolutionary Guard on a Singapore-flagged cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz, renewing concerns about the sustainability of the preliminary US-Iran peace agreement.
Meanwhile, ongoing tensions between Israel and Lebanon kept geopolitical uncertainty high. Israel continues its attacks on southern Lebanon, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu states that the Israeli army 'will not withdraw' from occupied areas.
These developments have kept uncertainty at a high level, negatively affecting risk-sensitive assets like Bitcoin, which remained under pressure and hit a new yearly low of 58115 dollars this week.

The price of Ethereum (ETH) fell below $1,600 on Friday, as risk aversion continued in the cryptocurrency market. The leading altcoin dropped 6.7% over the week, bringing its losses over the past thirty days to 23.5%.
Despite persistent negative sentiment across the market, sell-side positions in Ethereum derivatives have declined over the past three weeks, following the sharp drop in Ethereum’s price from more than $2,000 to nearly $1,560 at the time of writing.
This shift is reflected in the net trading volume on the Ethereum network, which has gradually moved out of the negative territory over the period mentioned above. This indicator measures the difference in trading volume between buyers and sellers in perpetual futures contracts using market orders.
The recent contraction suggests that selling pressure from traders on the price decline has eased after most of their positions became profitable following the drop.

Ethereum futures contracts also appear to have undergone a partial reset after the estimated leverage ratio (ELR) fell from 1.11 to 0.85 over the past three weeks. The estimated leverage ratio indicates the amount of leverage used in the cryptocurrency by comparing open interest to trading reserves.
The sharp decline in ETH’s ELR shows that a large number of leveraged positions have been wiped out, which could stabilize the market and reduce leverage risks.

While leverage fell alongside the shrinking of bearish positions, Ethereum derivatives still lean slightly to the downside, as funding rates continue to show negative readings—especially after further price drops over the past few days.
Meanwhile, institutional demand remained weak after six consecutive days of net outflows from U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, according to SoSoValue data. These products are moving toward recording seven consecutive weeks of outflows, which would be their largest weekly decline since January.
The realized price low is one of the most important levels that investors watch, as it served as an indicator of a market bottom in the previous two bear market cycles. This metric suggests that Ethereum’s price could drop by nearly 30% before stabilizing at this level.

- Risk Management in a Volatile Environment:
In any type of trading, risk management is the most important, and the first rule is not to invest more than you can afford to lose, as the market is highly volatile, and you could lose everything in a sudden crash. Most professional traders use stop-loss orders to protect their capital, and diversifying capital across different cryptocurrencies is another safety tip. To achieve this, you can include a mix of layer-1 protocols and stablecoins. Currently, the average investor holds a portfolio where Bitcoin makes up 74% of their holdings. Ethereum and Solana often make up the remaining percentage to balance stability and growth.
- Importance of Security and Wallets:
Cryptocurrency trading is susceptible to platform failures and hacks, and you are responsible for your funds, so cold wallets are the gold standard for long-term security. You can keep your unique private keys offline, out of reach of hackers. Today, in 2026, polls indicate that security is the primary concern for 59% of Americans. This highlights the importance of strong personal security habits, which are indispensable for serious traders. Using two-factor authentication and physical security keys has become essential for protecting your digital wealth.
- Regulatory Environment and Institutional Adoption:
The cryptocurrency market is no longer heavily reliant on individual speculation, but is more focused on institutional products, with assets under management for Bitcoin ETFs in the US exceeding $128 billion. This "institutional approval" has brought stability to the market and provided professional oversight that was absent in the past few years. Also, the emergence of specialized cryptocurrency experts in major economies indicates that digital assets are now considered national strategic reserves, and regulation is no longer seen as a risk or enemy, but as a necessary framework for the next phase.
