XRP Trades at $1.33 as Coinbase Premium Flips Negative; Mid-April in Focus
XRP has hovered around $1.33 for most of the past two days after a March 28 push toward $1.35 failed to hold. CryptoQuant’s Coinbase-vs-Binance premium has slid since March 23 and is now negative at -0.0364, a shift the report associates with weaker institutional demand on Coinbase. Analyst Egrag Crypto says a repeating 5-day setup points to mid-April as a likely decision window, with $1.33 acting as the key near-term level.
