XRP Price Correction Risks Grow as Token Approaches Overvaluation

XRP has failed to register a meaningful recovery in recent days, despite broader market attempts at stabilization. The altcoin’s recent movement indicates growing weakness, with its momentum fading as on-chain data points to potential overvaluation.

As selling signals strengthen, XRP may face increased downside pressure in the coming sessions.

XRP Holders’ Concerning Actions

The Network Value to Transactions (NVT) Ratio for XRP has surged sharply, suggesting that recent minor price upticks are not backed by real transaction activity. This divergence between valuation and on-chain utility highlights growing hype-driven trading behavior rather than fundamental network growth. Historically, such conditions have often preceded short-term corrections.

A rising NVT Ratio typically signals overvaluation, as market capitalization outpaces actual blockchain usage. For XRP, this pattern indicates that enthusiasm among traders is outpacing organic network demand.

On the macro front, XRP’s Liveliness metric—a measure of long-term holder (LTH) activity—has recorded a notable uptick. This rise reflects increasing movement among previously dormant coins, suggesting that long-term investors are beginning to sell. The trend implies a shift in sentiment among holders who may be losing patience amid stagnant price action.

The lack of sustained growth appears to be driving LTHs to secure profits before potential declines. When experienced holders start distributing their assets, it often signals reduced conviction in near-term gains.

XRP Price Is Stuck

XRP is currently trading at $2.41, holding slightly above the $2.35 support level while remaining capped below the $2.54 resistance. Market volatility has narrowed, but momentum indicators continue to lean bearish as selling pressure builds across exchanges.

Given these factors, XRP could face a short-term correction if weakness persists. A drop below the $2.35 support might send the price toward $2.27, with further losses potentially extending to $2.13. Such a move would reinforce bearish sentiment in the market.

However, if investor demand strengthens and buying activity returns, XRP could rebound from current levels. A successful push above $2.54 resistance may clear the path for a climb toward $2.64, invalidating the bearish outlook and signaling renewed market optimism.
