XRP News Today: XRP Whales Accumulate 900 Million Tokens Amid Stable Price and Bullish Technical Signals

XRP whales have accumulated approximately 900 million tokens over two days, with large wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP driving the majority of the buying. This surge in accumulation has occurred as the price has remained relatively stable near $3.15, despite broader market volatility. Analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the significance of this activity, noting that it suggests larger investors are seeing value at current levels and are actively building positions rather than waiting for a breakout [1].

The accumulation has coincided with a technical pattern forming on the XRP price chart. Following a three-day decline from $3.38, the asset formed an inverted hammer—a potential reversal signal. Meanwhile, the daily RSI remains above the neutral 50 level, indicating that bullish momentum has not yet faded. Analyst Joe Swanson pointed out that if XRP can reclaim $3.38 and move toward $3.66, it could eventually push toward $4. However, a drop below $2.81, which aligns with the 50-day moving average, could signal a loss of upward momentum [1].

The steady price environment has also supported continued accumulation, with daily trading volume exceeding $8.39 billion in the last 24 hours. This liquidity allows large investors to move significant volumes without causing sharp price swings. The market’s calm period has provided an opportunity for whale buying rather than selling, which is a key factor in the current price stability. The recent 4.28% increase in the past week further reinforces the idea that XRP is in a consolidation phase ahead of a potential breakout [1].

Notably, the whale activity is part of a broader trend seen across major crypto assets, where institutional or high-net-worth investors are quietly accumulating positions. This behavior differs from previous cycles where large holders were more prone to dumping tokens, leading to sharp corrections. In the case of XRP, the accumulation appears to be a long-term strategic move, as the tokens are being held in wallets that indicate an intent to hold for extended periods [3].

Despite the strong on-chain signals, XRP has yet to break through key resistance levels. The $3.33 level remains a critical threshold for validating the strength of the current rally. Failure to clear this level could suggest that broader market adoption is still lagging behind the enthusiasm seen in institutional and whale activity. While the technical indicators and whale behavior are positive, analysts caution that the broader market still needs stronger signs of adoption and utility to confirm a long-term bullish trend [2].

The accumulation of 900 million XRP tokens by large holders has occurred in a mixed broader market environment. While some altcoins have shown strong momentum, others have seen significant declines. XRP’s whale activity, however, stands out as a potentially significant development. If the price can break through the $3.33 level and confirm the validity of the bullish technical pattern, it could trigger renewed interest in the asset and serve as a catalyst for a broader market move [5].
