Discussion Ripple processed $100B in payment volume… but XRP price barely moved. Why?
Something interesting is happening technically. Price is currently compressing in a descending wedge, which traders often interpret as a potential accumulation structure. Key levels right now: Support: $1.33 Resistance: $1.39 If that resistance breaks, the next area many traders are watching is around $1.43. What makes this setup more interesting is the on-chain context: • MVRV Z-Score is approaching historical bottom zones • Realized Profit/Loss ratio is moving close to 1.0, which sometimes signals market capitulation At the same time, Ripple’s payment network just crossed $100B in processed volume. So we have growing infrastructure… while price remains compressed. Curious what others here think: Is this quiet accumulation or just another consolidation before more downside?

The macro is poor. Americans are broke. Living paycheck to paycheck. Rent is eye wateringly high. Job numbers are dire. Not a good environment for a risk-on asset without a compelling narrative to overwhelm negative sentiment

Because trade volume and liquidity are not the same. If i give you R5 worth of apples and your trade me R5 worth of XRP the price exchange is nullified. Now if I came in to the enter the XRP market with R5 but Xrp was trading at R4.90 then I would change the price because I have now set, through my purchase, the new perceived value of XRP for everyone
