XRP News Today: Whales Accumulate XRP at the Bottom, Signaling a Potential Bullish Turn

XRP has entered a critical juncture following a 25% decline from its July high of $3.65 to around $2.70 in early September 2025. Analysts and traders are closely monitoring key price levels, with the $2.90 resistance and $2.70 support becoming focal points in the token's near-term outlook. Ripple’s native asset has failed to reclaim the $3 level, and its inability to break past $2.90 has raised concerns of a further pullback to the $2.70 zone [1].

Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has emphasized the importance of defending the $2.70 support level, warning that a breakdown could drive XRP toward $2.48, a level aligned with Fibonacci extension levels. Conversely, a successful rebound and a breakout above $2.90 could lead to a rally toward $3.70, with intermediate targets at $3.05 and $3.26 [1]. Martinez’s analysis highlights the stair-step nature of potential bullish movement, with pullbacks likely along the way.

Meanwhile, on-chain and futures data suggest early signs of accumulation, potentially pointing to a bottoming process for XRP. The token’s estimated leverage ratio on Binance has reset to its yearly average, reducing the risk of cascading liquidations and supporting price stability. Additionally, net taker volume has shifted closer to neutral, and aggregated spot cumulative volume delta (CVD) indicates that buyers are beginning to dominate. These signs imply that long-term holders may be accumulating XRP at discounted levels [2].

Fibonacci retracement levels and fractal patterns also reinforce the potential for a rebound. A daily/weekly fair value gap between $2.35 and $2.65 aligns closely with key Fibonacci levels, increasing the likelihood of a reaction in that range. If XRP breaks below $2.70, it could enter this zone, which has historically served as a stabilizing area before sharp breakouts [2]. Crypto trader Javon Marks has echoed this optimism, suggesting that as long as XRP holds above $2.47, it could see a 66% upside [2].

The broader market structure supports a cautious bullish bias. XRP is currently trading near the lower Bollinger Band, indicating oversold conditions. While the RSI sits below the neutral 50 level and the MACD shows a bearish crossover, a bullish flip in these indicators would validate a potential breakout above $2.90. If bulls can maintain control, the path to $3.70 and eventually $4—where liquidity is heavily concentrated—becomes more viable [3]. Analyst Steph Is Crypto has warned traders to "be prepared" for a possible short squeeze scenario, as liquidity concentrations could drive a sharp upward move [3].

Crypto researcher Ripple Van Winkle has also highlighted the significance of whale activity, noting that on-chain data shows large holders are accumulating XRP at the bottom. This trend has historically marked the start of new bullish waves. Some analysts are projecting a five-wave upward channel, with potential price targets reaching $4.16, $4.63, and ultimately $5.39 [4]. If this pattern materializes, XRP could be on track for a new all-time high in 2025.

While skepticism persists in the market, with some questioning whether XRP is overvalued or if a major retracement is inevitable, bullish sentiment remains strong. CEO of Digital Ascension Group, Jake Claver, has dismissed the possibility of XRP returning to the $0.50 range and emphasized the token’s strong fundamentals, including high trading volume and the potential for spot ETF inflows [4]. With key technical levels in play and mixed but cautious optimism from analysts, XRP’s next move could determine whether it enters a new bullish phase or faces further consolidation.
