On August 1, Ripple’s (XRP) price briefly dropped below $0.68 for the first time since the famous victory against the SEC in mid-July. On-chain data analysis reveals that XRP long-term holders began a network-wide sell-off on Monday. 

Following the much-heralded victory in its long-running case against the SEC, Ripple’s (XRP) price hit a 1-year peak at $0.84. However, over the past two weeks, the XRP price seems to have stagnated around the $0.70 level in recent weeks. On-chain data reveals that XRP long-term investors are growing increasingly unconvinced that they would see more gains. 

Do the bulls have enough in the tank to soak up the downward pressure?
