XRP looking pretty weak right now. Been watching the 4-hour chart and price is stuck below key resistance around $1.60-$1.66. The whole structure screams bearish - lower highs, lower lows, and every bounce just gets sold into. Currently trading at $1.32, so we've moved down quite a bit from those levels I was tracking before.

What's catching my eye is the OI situation. Open interest dropped hard from those $10B+ peaks we saw late last year down to around $2.8B now. That's a massive deleveraging, which tells me traders are getting defensive rather than buying dips. The spot flows confirm it too - consistent outflows, no real accumulation happening. Everyone seems to be trimming positions as price keeps grinding lower.

Technically, the immediate support zone sits at $1.55-$1.50. If that breaks, next stop is probably $1.42-$1.45. The ADX is still elevated, suggesting this downtrend has legs. For any real recovery, we'd need to see price reclaim above $1.66 first, then challenge $1.72 to start weakening the bearish control. Right now though, the setup doesn't look convincing for bulls. Market's in defense mode, and that OI contraction shows it.
