XRP is holding just above $1.40 as the broader market searches for direction, with buyers and sellers locked in a standoff that has produced little more than sideways price action in recent sessions. The price is not breaking down — but it is not breaking out either. And according to an Arab Chain report, the numbers behind that stillness are telling a story of their own.
