XRP Falls to 9‑Month Low as Macro Pressure Keeps It Tied to Bitcoin
XRP dropped to a nine‑month low on Sunday as mounting macro pressure — including a stronger dollar and continued investor risk aversion — pushed crypto markets lower. The decline came even as Ripple's network developments and enterprise partnerships remain intact, underscoring a contrast between on‑chain fundamentals and near‑term price dynamics.
The move reiterates how tightly XRP still tracks Bitcoin and broader sentiment; until macro headwinds ease or Bitcoin stages a sustained recovery, altcoin rebounds are likely to be muted. Traders and holders will be watching macro data, Bitcoin's trend, and any regulatory updates that could alter flows, since those factors will likely determine whether XRP can decouple from Bitcoin's shadow and recover lost ground.
