XRP Near Breakout as Investors Accumulate Record 1.7M Tokens in 1 Month

XRP has entered a strong accumulation phase, with investors acquiring nearly 1.7 million tokens in a single month—the largest such movement in over two years. This surge in buying activity indicates a renewed confidence in the asset’s potential despite ongoing market volatility. Analysts suggest that this phase may signal a reversal in XRP’s price trend, with the token currently trading just below a critical technical resistance level at $2.85. If XRP manages to break through this barrier, it could target levels of $2.95 and then $3.07, representing a potential continuation of the bullish cycle[1].

Against the backdrop of a broader crypto market that has yet to show signs of a significant rebound, XRP's performance stands out. The token has outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) by nearly 300% since Donald Trump's election victory, fueled by the ongoing settlement of Ripple's SEC lawsuit and growing speculation around the approval of spot ETFs. On the weekly chart, XRP/BTC has formed an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, with the neckline at 3,145 satoshi. A decisive break above this level could validate the pattern and open the door to a potential 100% gain by the end of 2025[2].

In addition to the bullish chart patterns, XRP has also experienced a golden cross on its weekly time frame, where the 50-week EMA crossed above the 200-week EMA, reinforcing the upward momentum. The token is now positioned near a resistance zone it has failed to surpass since mid-2019. Analysts suggest that a breakout above this range could propel XRP/BTC to as high as 9,000 satoshi, signaling a substantial move in the current bull cycle[2].

However, the market is not without cautionary signals. The NVT (Network Value to Transactions) ratio has spiked in the last 24 hours, reaching a two-month high. This metric suggests that XRP’s valuation may be outpacing its transactional activity, potentially indicating an overvaluation. If this trend continues, it could lead to a correction as the price loses support from fundamental usage. Investors are advised to monitor whether XRP can sustain its move above $2.85, as a rejection could see the token retreating to $2.73 or even $2.64[1].

In parallel, the broader crypto market shows early signs of an altcoin season, with Bitcoin’s market dominance declining to its lowest level since January. This shift in capital allocation positions XRP as a key beneficiary. Coinbase Institutional’s research team has noted that market conditions now suggest a potential shift toward a full-scale altcoin season as we approach September. XRP’s ability to maintain its outperformance against Bitcoin will depend on continued institutional and retail demand, as well as regulatory developments that could further ease concerns over its status[2].

Amid this growing interest in XRP, attention is also turning to emerging projects like Little Pepe (LILPEPE), a Layer 2 blockchain designed to support meme-based tokens. The project has raised over $24.3 million in its presale, with more than 15.2 billion tokens sold. LILPEPE is now in Stage 12 of its presale at $0.0021 per token, with a listing price expected at $0.003. Investors entering at this stage can anticipate a potential 42.9% return before the token’s listing. The project’s infrastructure, including anti-sniper features and a dedicated Launchpad, is designed to support high transaction throughput and developer accessibility[6].

As XRP and LILPEPE continue to attract attention, investors are weighing the potential for both short- and long-term gains. XRP’s current trajectory suggests a path toward a sustained bullish cycle if it can overcome key resistance levels and maintain institutional adoption. Meanwhile, LILPEPE’s presale momentum and growing infrastructure indicate a project with ambitious goals beyond mere meme-based speculation. Both tokens represent different phases of the crypto market—one in a potential breakout, the other in early-stage growth—offering investors a diverse set of opportunities in the evolving landscape[2][6].
