Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP all edged higher to start the week, but the move looked more like a steady grind than a clean breakout. Fresh ETF redemptions, softer spot demand, and mixed technical signals suggest traders are still waiting for stronger conviction.
ETF Flows Show a Split in Sentiment
United States spot ETF data painted a cautious picture last week. Bitcoin products saw the heaviest pressure, Ethereum slipped out of its recent inflow streak, and XRP continued to attract new money.
| Asset | Weekly flow | Longer-term position |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | -$390 million | $51.79 billion in cumulative net inflows |
| Ethereum | -$2.26 million | $11.45 billion in cumulative net inflows |
| XRP | +$2.25 million | Fifth straight week of inflows |
Bitcoin’s large outflow does not erase the broader institutional base that has built up over time, but it does show that allocators are trimming risk rather than adding aggressively. Ethereum’s small withdrawal looks more like a pause than a rush for the exits, while XRP is still drawing interest even as the larger names cool off.
Bitcoin Holds the Line, but Pressure Sits Above
Bitcoin is trading around $63,416, with price still stuck below the major moving averages. That keeps the near-term tone tilted to the downside, even if the latest drop has slowed.
- 50-day EMA: $64,317
- 100-day EMA: $66,393
- 200-day EMA: $72,390
The chart remains capped by resistance overhead, and momentum is not yet strong enough to clear it. The RSI sits at 46, which shows weak momentum without being deeply oversold, while MACD remains below zero and confirms the rebound has lost force.
Near-term resistance sits in a tight band between $64,317 and $64,850. A daily close above that area would be the first sign that buyers are regaining control. Below current levels, the key floor is the SuperTrend line near $61,291. If that breaks, the market could slide into a deeper correction.
Ethereum Stabilizes, but It Still Needs a Breakout
Ethereum is trading near $1,894, which keeps it above short-term support but below the level that would signal real recovery. The market is calmer than it was recently, yet the structure is still mixed.
ETH now sits above the 50-day EMA at $1,868 and the SuperTrend support near $1,769. Even so, the 100-day EMA at $1,918 is acting as a clear ceiling, and the 200-day EMA at $2,108 remains well out of reach for the moment.
The indicator mix leans slightly constructive. RSI is near 53, which suggests balance rather than exhaustion, but MACD is still negative, so buyers have not fully rebuilt momentum.
- Immediate hurdle: $1,918
- First support: $1,868
- Deeper support: $1,769
If Ethereum clears $1,918 on a daily basis, the next test sits near $2,108. If it loses $1,868 first, the chart would weaken quickly and shift attention back to the broader bearish trend.
XRP Keeps Its Inflow Streak Alive
XRP stands out because its ETF products continued to bring in money even while Bitcoin and Ethereum products saw redemptions. That makes it the clearest sign of selective risk-taking in the market right now.
Spot XRP ETFs added $2.25 million last week and extended their winning streak to five consecutive weeks. The asset is trading close to parity at $1.00, which gives the inflows extra significance because price has not yet responded with the same strength.
Key XRP levels:
- 50-day EMA: $1.08
- 100-day EMA: $1.16
- 200-day EMA: $1.35
- Trend break level: $1.01
XRP’s RSI is near 37, which sits in bearish territory, and MACD remains negative. That combination keeps the short-term picture fragile. Bulls need a clean push above $1.01 before the market can start targeting the SuperTrend area near $1.07 and the 50-day EMA at $1.08. Until then, the $1.00 area remains vulnerable.
What Traders Should Watch Next
The market is not showing a broad reversal yet. It is showing hesitation, with flows, price levels, and momentum all pointing in different directions.
Bitcoin still has the strongest institutional base, Ethereum looks stable but unfinished, and XRP remains the only one of the three attracting steady ETF demand.
For now, the cleanest reading is simple: Bitcoin is defending support, Ethereum is trying to build a base, and XRP is outperforming on flows even without matching that strength in price. The next move will likely depend on whether buyers can turn these small technical gains into a stronger weekly close.
