Ethereum fell below $2,200 after repeated failures near $2,400, while the ETH/BTC ratio slipped under 0.028, marking a 10-month low. Analysts pointed to heavy exchange inflows—more than 500,000 ETH over the past week—as a potential source of added selling pressure. Bullish voices, however, argued ETH could rebound from diagonal support on the 8-hour chart as some long-term holders resume buying.

XRP has repeatedly tried to break out of its consolidation in May but was rejected after brief rallies, including a move to $1.55 on May 15, 2026. Analysts highlighted $1.51 and then $1.82 as the main resistance levels that would need to give way for a stronger bullish continuation, while others still frame price action as a range between $1,30 and $1.55.

Bitcoin fell below $78,000 after a short-lived rally that jumped from under $79,000 to $82,000 following progress on the CLARITY Act. Analysts pointed to miner selling of 800 BTC (about $64 million) and warned the move could mark a bull trap, with one calling for a potential drop toward $63,000. Others argued losing $80,000 support does not automatically imply a steep crash.

XRP jumped from $1.42 to $1.55 after a 15-9 bipartisan vote advanced the CLARITY Act through the Senate Banking Committee, before quickly slipping back toward its prior level. The move coincided with the XRP Ledger's strongest on-chain activity since March, including 48,453 active addresses in a 24-hour window. Separately, analyst CW said position delta increased, suggesting long positions were added while XRP remains below the 100 EMA, with the 200 EMA near $1.70.

After the CLARITY Act advanced in the U.S. Senate Banking Committee by a 15-9 bipartisan vote, Santiment said Bitcoin sentiment on social media surged sharply. The firm argued the bill could improve long-term regulatory clarity for crypto, but warned that an overly bullish crowd and “priced-in” expectations may limit near-term upside.

RUNE slid about 15% within minutes after on-chain investigator ZachXBT said THORChain likely suffered a fresh exploit. The reported incident is estimated at over $7.4 million and allegedly involved activity across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, and Base. RUNE moved from above $0.58 down to a two-week low near $0.50, where it later saw some support.

Hyperliquid's HYPE surged more than 20% at one point to $47, adding roughly $2 billion in market cap and nearing the top 10 altcoins by capitalization. The move followed Coinbase expanding USDC support on Hyperliquid under its AQA framework, alongside the debut of a 21Shares HYPE ETF and an upcoming Bitwise launch. Analysts using TD Sequential and other models warned a pullback could target $36, $33, or lower if resistance near $46 holds, while a break above $50 could invalidate the bearish view.

XRP briefly climbed from $1.38 to above $1.50 before quickly reversing, repeating several prior breakout failures. The pullback came as broader crypto markets reacted to a viral Donald Trump comment on an Iran proposal, with BTC swinging from $82,300 to under $81,000. Some analysts still argue futures momentum remains constructive, while key levels such as $1.445 and longer-term targets like $2.40-$3.36 are being monitored.

Spot crypto ETFs saw renewed demand over the past week as prices climbed, with bitcoin products leading weekly net inflows. BTC spot ETFs recorded $622.75 million in net inflows for the week, while ETH spot ETFs ended with just over $70 million and XRP-focused funds brought in more than $34 million.
