XRP's explosive rally faces uncertainty as key metrics suggest overvaluation, with slowing user activity and bearish momentum hinting at a potential pullback.

XRP has seen impressive growth recently, raising questions about whether the token might be overvalued. After a remarkable rally in recent months, indicators suggest the bullish momentum could be fading, with XRP now facing resistance and potential risks of a downward correction.

XRP’s price rise has been notable, surpassing the $1 threshold after a prolonged period. While many anticipated this to be a short-lived surge, XRP has since climbed higher. However, with the token currently encountering resistance near its recent highs, the outlook is mixed. The Network Value to Transaction (NVT) ratio, a key on-chain metric, has spiked significantly, hinting that the market cap may be outpacing transaction growth. This trend often points to overvaluation, as slower transaction activity suggests diminishing network utility.

Another concerning signal is the decline in the Price to Daily Active Addresses (DAA) divergence metric. This measures price growth relative to user engagement. A sharp drop in this metric indicates fewer active wallets interacting with XRP, signaling reduced user activity despite the price rally. If this trend persists, XRP’s price could face mounting pressure.

Technical analysis also paints a cautious picture. On shorter timeframes, XRP has struggled to break key resistance levels and has been pulled back slightly. Indicators like the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) show bearish momentum building, suggesting that further declines may be on the horizon. The token’s bearish momentum could lead to a potential slide if the current lack of user activity continues to weigh on its value.

Although some analysts remain optimistic about XRP’s long-term potential, the current market signals suggest caution. If bullish momentum returns, XRP could regain higher levels. However, without stronger user engagement and transaction growth, a deeper correction cannot be ruled out. Investors will likely keep a close eye on market dynamics to gauge the token’s next move.
