XRP ETF Inflow Streak Ends After $170M Run. Can Price Hold $1.31?

XRP is trading near $1.36 on September 3 after U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded their first net outflow in 12 trading sessions. The $7.2 million withdrawal ended an 11-session run that brought roughly $170 million into the funds, but XRP has recovered from Wednesday's low near $1.31. Price now sits between that support and $1.40 resistance, leaving the next move dependent on whether buyers can turn the rebound into a higher high.

Key Takeaways

• U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded $7.2 million in net outflows on September 2, ending an 11-session inflow streak.
• The preceding streak brought roughly $170 million into XRP funds and lifted cumulative inflows to around $1.68 billion.
• XRP recovered from the September 2 low near $1.31 and trades around $1.36 on September 3.
• $1.40 is the immediate resistance, while a loss of $1.31 would expose the deeper $1.27 support.

XRP ETF Inflow Streak Ends After 11 Sessions

U.S. spot XRP ETFs turned negative on September 2 after nearly three weeks of uninterrupted inflows.

The funds recorded approximately $7.2 million in net outflows on Wednesday, ending an 11-session streak. The withdrawal was concentrated in Bitwise's XRP ETF, while the other tracked products recorded no net movement, according to the latest XRP ETF flow data.

The negative session followed a considerably larger accumulation period. XRP ETFs attracted roughly $170 million during the preceding 11 trading sessions, taking cumulative net inflows to approximately $1.68 billion by September 1.

The latest withdrawal therefore breaks the streak without erasing the broader increase in ETF demand. At roughly 4% of the capital accumulated during the previous run, one negative session remains too small to establish a sustained reversal on its own.

XRP ETF Demand Has Built Despite Price Volatility

The recent inflow streak is part of a wider increase in demand for XRP-linked investment products.

In our previous analysis of XRP ETF inflows, cumulative inflows stood near $1.44 billion while XRP was attempting to hold the $1.10 area. That figure had risen to roughly $1.68 billion before Wednesday's withdrawal.

The relationship should not be overstated. ETF inflows represent demand for regulated XRP investment products, but they do not guarantee an equivalent move in the spot price.

That distinction became visible before Wednesday's outflow. XRP reached approximately $1.47 on August 27 and 28 before dropping back toward $1.35 even as ETF inflows continued. The current correction therefore began before the 11-session streak ended.

The next few trading sessions should provide a clearer signal. Continued withdrawals would suggest ETF demand is cooling after the August run, while a return to inflows would make September 2 look more like an isolated interruption.

XRP Recovers From $1.31 but $1.40 Still Caps Price

XRP has so far avoided extending Wednesday's decline. The token reached approximately $1.31 on September 2 before recovering toward $1.36 on September 3. Historical XRP price data shows the pullback developing from the late-August highs before buyers stepped in around the latest low.

The decline also produced a clear sequence of lower highs. XRP reached around $1.47 on August 27 and 28 before falling below $1.40. Price subsequently tested the $1.40 area several times between August 29 and September 1 without establishing a sustained move above it.

That makes $1.40 the first meaningful test of whether Thursday's recovery has enough strength to change the short-term structure.

XRP Technical Analysis on the 4-hour Chart

XRP's 4-hour chart shows price attempting to build a base after the late-August correction.

The immediate support sits at $1.31, near the September 2 low. Buyers reacted quickly from this level, preventing the decline from extending into the previous breakout structure. Holding above $1.31 therefore keeps the current recovery attempt intact.

The first major resistance is $1.40. XRP repeatedly tested this area between August 29 and September 1 but failed to establish acceptance above it. A completed 4-hour close above $1.40 would break the latest short-term ceiling and strengthen the case that buyers are regaining control.

The next upside target would then sit around $1.47. Price tested this area on August 27 and August 28 before the correction accelerated, giving it a clear role as the next resistance if $1.40 breaks.

The downside structure becomes weaker if XRP loses $1.31. The next important support sits at $1.27, around the August 20 breakout area that preceded the sharp expansion higher.

A completed 4-hour close below $1.27 would erase that breakout base and materially weaken the wider recovery from the $1.00 region.

What to Expect Next

• Bullish case: XRP holds $1.31 and closes above $1.40, bringing the $1.47 resistance back into focus.
• Bearish case: Losing $1.31 would open a deeper retracement toward the $1.27 breakout support.
• Key catalyst: XRP ETF flows over the next several sessions will show whether the September 2 withdrawal develops into sustained redemptions.
• Invalidation: A completed 4-hour close below $1.27 would materially weaken the current recovery structure.

FAQs

Why did XRP ETF inflows turn negative?

The available flow data shows where the withdrawal occurred but does not establish why investors sold. Bitwise's XRP ETF accounted for the $7.2 million net outflow on September 2.

What is the key XRP price level now?

$1.31 is the immediate support. A completed 4-hour close above $1.40 would strengthen the recovery, while $1.27 remains the wider structural invalidation.
