XRP News Today: XRP Whale Flows Turn Negative as Distribution Pressure Rises

XRP is currently under distribution pressure as whale flows have turned deeply negative, indicating potential downward price movement. According to data from CryptoQuant.com, the 30-day moving average of whale flows has entered negative territory, signaling that large holders are offloading their positions [1]. This trend closely mirrors patterns observed in January–February 2025, when whale activity coincided with a local price peak followed by a 40% decline from $3.55 to $2.00 [2]. Such historical parallels raise concerns about a possible correction in the near term.

The current bearish on-chain activity contrasts with a previous bullish phase in 2025, during which XRP surged 400% from $0.43 in July 2024 to $3.55 in January 2025, driven by positive whale inflows. However, the latest outflows suggest a reversal, with net distribution dominating and increasing the likelihood of volatility [3]. XRP recently reached a high of $3.66 in July 2025, adding to the urgency for investors to monitor these on-chain signals [4].

Analysts, including @EnigmaTrader369 referenced in the CryptoQuant thread, highlight the historical reliability of whale behavior as an indicator of price corrections. The ongoing negative flows reflect a sustained distribution phase, which could challenge XRP’s recent upward momentum [5]. While retail buying pressure or regulatory developments—such as the recently passed GENIUS Act—might offer support, market conditions currently favor a cautious outlook.

Investors are advised to remain vigilant and watch for signs of accumulation or positive developments, such as Ripple’s continued partnerships with financial institutions. Until whale flows reverse or bullish on-chain indicators emerge, XRP may face further consolidation or a deeper correction [6].
