Yesterday afternoon, I saw XRP face resistance at the $1.93 level and continue to decline under pressure. Someone in the trading group started complaining—whenever a volume-driven bearish candle appears, it’s always the easiest to attract pessimism.

Trading volume surged to 147% of the daily average, yet the price actually dropped by 1.2%. This signal couldn’t be clearer: volume expansion accompanied by stagnation usually indicates something.

I made a decision: to convert 40% of my XRP holdings into stablecoins. Someone in the group asked if I was afraid of missing the rebound. I looked at the key turning point on the monthly chart—$2.00—and realized this isn’t the first time it has acted as resistance.

Think about a ship repeatedly hitting the dock without docking—smart passengers should first prepare the lifeboats.

The recent movement of XRP has exposed some of the most realistic issues in the current market:

**Macroeconomic positives have failed**. Even though CPI data performed well, BTC only surged to 89,000 and then quickly retreated. This technical divergence already indicates a problem.

**High trading volume combined with falling prices reflects not panic selling, but large funds systematically reallocating**. Big players are calmly offloading, while retail investors are still waiting for a rebound. That’s the true picture of the market.

**The curse of psychological levels**. The $2.00 level has shifted from support to resistance, and this change itself warrants caution.

For this reason, using stablecoins to respond to such market conditions becomes much more rational:

It doesn’t require you to bet on the direction—you don’t have to guess whether XRP can break through $2.00.

It offers a calm perspective—in times of market hesitation, a clear-eyed observer’s position is often more valuable.

It preserves strength—if the price truly drops to 1.64, you have ammunition; if it breaks through $2.00, at least you’re not caught in a dead position.

Markets will always have fluctuations, but when to be conservative and when to be aggressive—there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. However, understanding the true meaning behind volume-driven declines at least helps you answer this half of the question correctly.
