Technical Analysis Puts XRP Price Above $5 In Next 3 Days, Whales Buy $288 Worth Of XRP

Source Newsbtc

The XRP price is consolidating after a crazy 460% surge within four weeks that saw it breaking above $2.8 on December 3 for the first time since 2018. This consolidation saw the XRP price dropping to $2.22 on December 5 as many investors took some profits after the rally.

Interestingly, on-chain data shows that XRP whales have taken advantage of this dip to stock up their holdings to essentially prevent further price declines. With this in mind, technical analysis of the coin’s price chart shows that the cryptocurrency is well on track to breaking above the $5 price level in the next three days.

Technical Analysis Suggests Breakout To $5.26 By December 11

Amidst the backdrop of whale activity and price consolidation, technical analysis is now pointing to the possibility of the XRP price surpassing the $5 mark within the next three days. This rally hinges on XRP breaking through key retracement levels like it did in November.

Interestingly, a crypto analyst (CryptoInsightUK) outlined a compelling case for the altcoin’s next price target, citing a historical pattern in the asset’s movement. His analysis, shared on the social media platform X, highlights how XRP’s range-based corrections often find resistance at the 0.5-0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels. Once these levels are breached, the price tends to rally swiftly toward the 4.236 Fibonacci extension.

During XRP’s last breakout, it took just over three days to reach the 4.236 Fibonacci extension after breaking through retracement resistance. During that time, the price surged from below $1.46 to reach $2.9 on crypto exchanges within three days and 17 hours.

Based on the current price chart, XRP is once again trading between the 0.5 to 0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels drawn from the recent high of $2.9. If a similar trajectory were to play out, this should push the XRP price on another rally to reach $5.26 by December 11.

Such a move would see the XRP price rapidly breaking above its current all-time high of $3.40 that has stood for almost seven days. Interestingly, analyst CryptoinsightUK suggests that the predicted move could unfold even faster this time due to increased market velocity.

Whale Accumulation Supports Bullish Price Outlook

The behavior of XRP whales is a key factor bolstering the bullish sentiment. Fortunately, on-chain data shows significant whale accumulation during the recent price dip, with some investors purchasing the crypto in bulk. As noted by Santiment data, XRP addresses holding 1 million to 10 million tokens have purchased over 120 million XRP worth $288 million since December 5.

This accumulation serves a dual purpose. Not only does it prevent further price declines, but it also provides the liquidity necessary for the next upward movement.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.54.

Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant. The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year. Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus. Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses. Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
