The EUR/USD pair holds onto Monday’s gains slightly above 1.1500 during the European trading session on Tuesday. The major currency pair trades firmly as the US Dollar (USD) has come under pressure ahead of the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) monetary policy announcement on Wednesday.

As of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades marginally lower to near 99.70.

Investors expect the Fed to leave interest rates unchanged in the current range of 3.50%-3.75% as the Middle East conflict-driven spike in the oil price has prompted inflation expectations in the entire world.

In the policy meeting, investors will pay close attention to cues regarding how long the Fed could hold interest rates steady at their current levels.

Meanwhile, the Euro (EUR) demonstrates a mixed performance in the countdown to the European Central Bank’s (ECB) interest rate decision on Thursday. The ECB is anticipated to leave interest rates steady. Latest comments from a slew of ECB officials showed that they are not encouraged to any monetary policy adjustment, as inflationary pressures have remained broadly close to the 2% target.

EUR/USD technical analysis

EUR/USD holds onto gains near 1.1510 at the press time. The pair extends a medium-term decline beneath the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) around 1.16, keeping the near-term bias bearish while price holds below this dynamic cap.

RSI hovers in the mid-30s after recovering from oversold territory, showing weak momentum and only a modest loss of downside pressure rather than a firm bullish shift.

Immediate resistance emerges at the three-day high of 1.1530, followed by the 1.1630 area where the 20-day EMA converges as a stronger barrier. A daily close above 1.1630 would be needed to ease downside pressure and open a recovery toward 1.1690. On the downside, initial support aligns with the recent 1.1415 low, with a break exposing 1.1360 and then 1.1300 as the next bearish targets.

200,000,000 XRP out in 2 Weeks: What’s Going On?

200,000,000 XRP out in 2 Weeks: What’s Going On?

The post 200,000,000 XRP out in 2 Weeks: What’s Going On? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In the last 14 days, wallets with between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 XRP have reduced their holdings by around 200,000,000 tokens. This change, displayed by Santiment data, suggests that some of these holders are leaving the mid-level group, reducing their combined holdings to around 6.74 billion XRP.  They are not small retail accounts, but they also do not match the scale of the very largest XRP players.  Such movements usually matter because of the amount of supply in control, which can influence short-term trends. Of late, these whales have clearly been reducing their holdings. The XRP price has been trending down while XRP has been levitating close to $3, bouncing between $2.90 and $3.30, without going in a clear direction.  The fact that these wallets are selling could be one of the reasons why the token has struggled to increase in value, even though the general crypto market has had a mix of positive and negative days. Why do XRP whales sell? One possibility is that these holders are simply taking profit after XRP’s climb earlier in the summer.  Another reason is caution: with the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision coming up and money availability across markets looking uncertain, some investors may prefer to derisk their exposure now instead of holding amid price chaos. It is important to know that not all of these tokens have been moved to cold storage.  The number of XRP going into exchanges has gone up, which suggests that some of the 200 million XRP has been sent to trading platforms. This means that some of the selling pressure could be transferred to the open market if those tokens are moved directly there. Source: https://u.today/200000000-xrp-out-in-2-weeks-whats-going-on
