XRP fell by more than 8% over the past week even as large holders increased their positions. Over the same period, whales added over 71 million XRP—valued at around $97.8 million—while an analyst also pointed to a tight Bollinger Bands squeeze that may precede a sharp volatility expansion.

Bitcoin rebounded toward $78,000 but failed to hold the move as the Coinbase Premium Index stayed in negative territory. The metric, which compares BTC prices on Coinbase versus Binance, suggests comparatively stronger selling from U.S.-leaning Coinbase flows, with the index recently around -0.098. After the pullback, BTC was back near $77,300.

USDC deposits to centralized exchanges climbed to $350 million following Bitcoin's pullback below $77,000, a move some interpret as potential dip-buying activity. The inflow spike coincided with BTC sliding to around $76,800, while stablecoin market capitalization was reported at $323.1 billion.

Ethereum has printed a Tom Demark (TD) Sequential sell signal on the 1-week chart, the same type of setup that previously preceded a 63% decline. Analyst Ali Martinez says the completed nine-candle setup suggests a potential corrective phase, while ETH is trading around $2,220 this week.

Bitcoin dropped below $80,000 after failing to hold recovery moves above $82,000 seen on Sunday and Monday, and the selloff accelerated on Wednesday with a brief dip under $79,000. The price later hovered around $79,600, roughly 3.3% below the Sunday high. The pullback coincided with the Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Gap moving into negative territory, pointing to relatively heavier selling pressure on Coinbase.

CryptoQuant's Bitcoin Bull-Bear Market Cycle Indicator has turned green for the first time since March 2023, shifting into what it labels an "Early Bull" phase. The move follows the indicator's drop into an "Extreme Bear" reading after the early-February sell-off and its subsequent recovery through March, April, and May. Bitcoin was trading around $80,700 at the time of writing, down 0.5% over the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin’s on-chain signals have improved, with the Realized Profit/Loss Ratio moving out of the "panic zone" as highlighted by CryptoQuant author Axel Adler Jr. The analyst also noted Realized Cap has turned upward and its 30-day change is slightly positive, indicating modest net inflows over the past month. BTC price action has remained rangebound, hovering near $81,000.

XRP on-chain indicators tied to adoption and usage have dropped sharply from their late-2024 highs, suggesting the earlier speculative burst has eased. New addresses are now about 2,700 per day versus 18,000 at the December 2024 peak, while 1-month active supply has slipped to around 2 billion tokens from 7.45 billion. XRP's price also pulled back after briefly trading above $1.45 on Wednesday and later hovering near $1.38.

Bitcoin has not yet flashed three indicators that have often coincided with bear-market bottoms, including reclaiming the short-term holder (STH) cost basis, per analyst Willy Woo. The STH cohort is defined as buyers from the past 155 days, and their average breakeven is cited around $81,000, leaving recent holders with more than a 14% unrealized loss. Bitcoin ended last week below $67,000 and later rebounded to about $69,500 to start Monday.
