A seven-month slump

$XRPis currently on track to record its seventh consecutive month in the red.

Since late last year, the asset has been trapped in a relentless downtrend.

Every attempt at a macro recovery has been met with heavy selling pressure. The cryptocurrency is struggling to regain a footing near the $1.30 level.

A seven-month losing streak is incredibly rare for a top-tier cryptocurrency, which shows just how devastating the current sell-off is.

A failed breakout

In mid-March, $XRPbulls attempted a breakout. The sharp rally that peaked near the $1.60 level around March 16 and 17. This surge was completely unsustainable.

Immediately after hitting that local top, the asset experienced a steep and steady sell-off. Over the next three weeks, $XRPcharted a textbook series of lower highs and lower lows.

For now, sellers are firmly in control of the short-term price action despite some positive developments within the ecosystem.

Institutional pressure
