🧠 1. Price ≠ News (Right Away)

Markets are forward-looking. Even when news hits, the price impact is often delayed — or already “priced in.” Smart money may have bought the rumor and is now selling the news.

💼 2. Ripple vs SEC Case Still Lingers

Yes, Ripple won a partial victory… but the SEC lawsuit isn’t fully resolved. Until there’s complete legal clarity, big institutional buyers may remain on the sidelines.

💣 3. Token Unlocks & Supply Pressure

Ripple holds a large amount of XRP, and regular token unlocks can cause supply pressure, keeping the price suppressed even during hype phases.

⸻

📉 4. Market Sentiment & Macro Headwinds

Crypto markets are still recovering. Bitcoin dominance is high, and altcoins (like XRP) often lag behind in early phases of bull runs. Plus, global market fear (interest rates, regulations, etc.) hurts speculative assets.

🧊 5. Manipulation & Whale Games

Some say XRP is heavily manipulated by whales and exchanges. It often pumps after retail loses interest — not when everyone expects it to.

💡 So what now?

If the fundamentals are strong and utility increases (real estate tokenization, global payments, etc.), XRP could eventually catch up. But crypto is emotional and patience + smart entries are key.
