XRP price analysis : XRP’s long stretch of sideways trading is starting to show cracks, as fresh on-chain data points to growing stress among holders and a market mood that looks increasingly similar to the downturn of 2022, as per a report.

SOPR Metric Shows Holders Selling XRP at a Loss A key metric capturing this shift is the Spent Output Profit Ratio, or SOPR, which tracks whether investors are moving XRP at a profit or a loss, as per a CCN report.

That move below the critical threshold suggests that, on average, holders are now selling at a loss. Glassnode described the trend as “triggered panic selling,” driven by broader market pressures rather than isolated XRP-specific events.
XRP Realized Price Mirrors Bearish Levels Seen in 2022 Another data point reinforcing the cautious tone is XRP’s realized price, which currently sits at $1.48.
