XRP panic selling spreads after key on-chain metric breaks

XRP has flashed a major sell signal after its Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) dropped below 1, indicating that investors are increasingly selling the asset at a loss. XRP’s SOPR, an on-chain metric used to show whether tokens moved on the blockchain are realizing profits or losses, has dropped to 0.96 as of press time, according to on-chain data fetched by Finbold from Glassnode , a crypto analytics platform. Essentially, the drop below 1 of XRP’s SOPR shows holders have been realizing losses in the past four weeks. XRP SOPR 30-day EMA.

Worth noting that the XRP price experienced a capitulation of more than 50% in mid 2022 after its SOPR consistently dropped below 1. After losing its support level around $0.57 in May 2022, the XRP price dropped 50% to a low of $0.28 in mid June 2022. XRP/USD weekly chart showing 2022 selloff.

Considering the altcoin’s diminishing returns due to its market growth, a 40% to 50% drop from its current value will peg the asset to about $0.80.
