Bitcoin, Ethereum and XRP are all edging higher, but the move looks cautious rather than decisive. Fresh ETF redemptions and a soft spot backdrop are keeping traders selective, even as each asset tries to stabilise near important price levels.
Bitcoin Faces Selling, Yet the Bigger Picture Still Holds
Bitcoin ETFs just logged a sizeable weekly outflow of about $389.71 million, which shows that short-term sentiment has turned more defensive. Even so, the longer trend remains positive, with cumulative inflows still at roughly $52.18 billion and total net assets sitting near $76.61 billion.
Price action reflects that tension. Bitcoin has been holding around the $63,000 area, but it remains below its key moving averages, leaving the near-term setup under pressure. The 50-day EMA is around $64,584, the 100-day EMA sits near $66,723, and the 200-day EMA is far higher at about $72,245 to $72,390, depending on the data set.
Momentum is also muted. An RSI in the mid-40s points to a market that is neither oversold nor convincingly bullish, while a negative MACD suggests the rebound still lacks force. A move back above the 50-day EMA would be the first sign that buyers are regaining control.
Ethereum Pauses After a Stronger Run of Support
Ethereum ETF flows cooled as well, with a modest weekly outflow of about $2.26 million ending a multi-week stretch of inflows. That shift is small in dollar terms, but it matters because it interrupts a more constructive trend in institutional demand.
Ethereum itself is holding up better than Bitcoin on the chart. It has been trading near $1,894 to $1,906, which keeps it above short-term support around the 50-day EMA near $1,858 to $1,868. The problem is that buyers still have not reclaimed the 100-day EMA, which sits close to $1,918 to $1,928, and the 200-day EMA remains much higher around $2,108.
The result is a market that looks steady, but not recovered. RSI readings near 53 suggest a neutral-to-slightly-positive tone, yet the MACD remains negative enough to warn that momentum has not fully turned. Ethereum needs a clean daily close above the 100-day EMA before traders can start talking about a stronger trend shift.
XRP Keeps Drawing Capital Even as Price Stays Capped
XRP continues to stand out on the flow side. Its spot ETFs added roughly $2.25 million to $2.25 million in weekly inflows, extending a run of positive weeks and showing that some investors are still willing to take risk outside the largest two names. Recent updates have also shown smaller but continued inflows, including about $1.01 million in one reported week.
The price picture is less encouraging. XRP has been hovering around the $1.00 mark, which is both psychologically important and technically fragile. It remains below the 50-day EMA near $1.08 to $1.09, the 100-day EMA around $1.16, and the 200-day EMA near $1.35. That stack of overhead resistance keeps the short-term bias tilted lower.
Momentum agrees with that reading. An RSI near 37 points to bearish conditions, and the MACD is still negative. XRP needs to clear the $1.01 area first, then push through the $1.07 to $1.08 zone, before the broader outlook starts to improve.
What Traders Should Watch Next
- Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $64,584 to $64,850 area to ease the current ceiling and shift momentum in a healthier direction.
- Ethereum has to break above roughly $1,918 to $1,928 to confirm that its short-term base is turning into a recovery.
- XRP must hold parity and then recover $1.01 before buyers can challenge the heavier resistance layered above it.
- ETF flows remain important because they continue to separate short-lived price bounces from real capital commitment.
The overall message is simple: the market is stabilising, not breaking out. Bitcoin is dealing with heavier exchange supply, Ethereum is pausing after a constructive stretch, and XRP is attracting inflows even while its chart stays under pressure. That mix keeps the tone cautious, but not fully negative.
