Ripple Whales Accumulate Over 380 Million XRP in Just 10 Days: Is A Breakout Near?

Source Newsbtc

XRP has shown remarkable resilience recently, maintaining its position above a critical support level, though a significant price move still looms. Key data from Santiment reveals that whales are actively accumulating XRP, having purchased over $228 million in the past few days. 

This aggressive accumulation suggests a growing confidence among large holders as the market rallies toward higher prices. Analysts and investors closely watch XRP, anticipating a breakout from key supply levels that could trigger a rally to new highs. 

With bullish sentiment rising, the next few days will be crucial in determining XRP’s price direction and its role in the ongoing market cycle. Will this whale activity lead to a major upward move, or could XRP remain in its current range? Only time will tell, but expectations are high as momentum builds in the broader crypto market.

XRP Investors Waiting For A Big Move

The crypto market has seen a significant surge, with Bitcoin and many altcoins posting double-digit percentage gains in recent days. The Federal Reserve’s decision to cut interest rates by 50 basis points sparked this rally, fueling optimism among investors now eyeing the potential start of a new crypto bull run. While investor sentiment for XRP has turned positive, the market has not yet reflected this in the token’s valuation.

Top analysts and market participants are sharing insights that suggest XRP may be gearing up for a strong performance this cycle. One prominent technical and on-chain analyst, Ali, highlighted compelling data from Santiment, which shows that XRP whales are making substantial moves. 

Ripple whales bought over 380 million XRP in the past 10 days.

In the past 10 days, these large holders have purchased over 380 million XRP, valued at approximately $228 million. This marks the highest level of whale accumulation since early August, a bullish signal for XRP. The accumulation of XRP by whales—often considered “smart money”—is a sign of strength and confidence in the token’s future price action. 

As the broader market continues to push higher, investors are optimistic that this accumulation could be an early indicator of a major rally for XRP in the coming days. With momentum building, many are positioning for the next big move.

Price Levels To Watch 

XRP is currently trading at $0.59 after several days of choppy price action, testing a supply level around this range. While XRP remains above the daily 200 moving average (MA) at $0.549—a sign of long-term strength—it has struggled to close above the $0.60 mark since late August.

For bulls to trigger a move to new local highs, the price must reclaim the $0.60 level and hold above it. Doing so would set the stage for a challenge to a key liquidity zone around $0.65.

XRP trading above 1D 200 MA, but struggles to close above $0.60.

The $0.65 price point has served as a significant resistance level, unbroken since early March. It’s also considered a psychological barrier that, if breached, could drive the price to higher levels rapidly. Investors and analysts are keeping a close watch on this level, as breaking through it would likely bring renewed bullish momentum.

However, if the price fails to close above the current price level in the coming days, a pullback toward the daily 200 MA around $0.55 is expected. This would mark a critical test of support, and any breach below this level could signal further downside risk for the token.

Silver breaks $64 as precious metals rebound — can gold hold the $4,280 line into the Fed decision?Silver has climbed back above $64 an ounce for the first time this week, leading a broad rebound across precious metals hours before the Federal Reserve delivers what is expected to be its first rate hike since 2023. Spot silver was last at $64.64, up 1.49% on the day, while gold reclaimed $4,300 and platinum and palladium both advanced.
