XRP and DOGE Are Deep in the Red: Could That Be a Bullish Signal?

A clear difference has emerged in the long-term MVRV levels of major crypto assets. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Chainlink are slightly above 0%. This means the average market participant who has held these assets over the past year is still sitting on a small profit.

XRP and Dogecoin, on the other hand, are in a different position.

Deep MVRV Discounts

According to the latest findings by Santiment, XRP’s 365-day MVRV stands at around -11.75%. DOGE is even lower at about -19.26%. The negative readings essentially mean that many long-term holders are currently holding unrealized losses. A lower MVRV can sometimes point to lower selling pressure.

Fewer traders are sitting on large profits that could lead to immediate selling. In previous instances, periods of heavy unrealized losses have also created longer-term recovery opportunities.

Santiment stated that XRP and DOGE currently stand out because their long-term holders remain deep in the red even as the market recovered.

“BTC, ETH, and LINK aren’t suddenly ‘bad buys’ just because their MVRV is slightly positive. But when comparing opportunities, assets far below 0% often deserve extra attention. The deeper the losses compared with other coins, the more interesting the setup can become.”

Fresh Selling Pressure

After a strong start to the week, the crypto market has started to cool off. XRP has been hit particularly hard in the latest pullback. Ripple’s native token dropped more than 7% over the past 24 hours and is now trading near the $1.48 level. Ali Martinez believes that “everything comes down to $1.60.” As such, a decisive break above this could confirm the pattern and trigger another 30% rally toward $2.

The OG meme coin, meanwhile, is also among the poorest performers in the past day as it shed 6.6%.

It faced a setback earlier this month when Bitwise announced that it would shut down its spot DOGE ETF, BWOW, after roughly 10 months, citing changes in investor demand and its plans to optimize its product lineup. The fund was scheduled to trade on NYSE Arca until October 14 before being liquidated.

However, investor interest in US-based spot DOGE ETFs appears to have picked up since then. These funds raked in $909,650 on Monday, and around $1.2 million on Tuesday, pushing weekly net inflows above $2 million.
