Ripple’s cryptocurrency XRP has become a significant focus for both individual and institutional investors. With a fully diluted valuation of approximately $55.7 billion and a daily trading volume of around $2.6 billion, the high-volume altcoin has experienced significant price movements. Over the past two weeks, XRP surged over 40% to reach 63 cents. However, this upward momentum corrected as the price fell over 8% to around $0.558 during the early European session on Friday.
Impact of Whale Transactions on XRP Price
One of the significant developments in the XRP ecosystem has been the increase in whale transactions. According to on-chain data from Santiment, whales holding more than 100,000 XRP currently possess approximately 52 billion XRP. These whales have accumulated over 130 million XRP from various crypto exchanges such as Binance, Bitso, Bitstamp, and Upbit in recent days. This large accumulation by whales has triggered increased activity on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) network.
The demand from whales has led to increased FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) among other investors on the XRPL network. Santiment’s data analysis shows a significant increase in the number of new and total addresses interacting on the XRPL network, reaching the highest level since March. This increase in activity indicates growing interest and participation from both large and small investors in the XRP ecosystem.
XRP Technical Outlook
The technical outlook for XRP appears promising. The price is forming a macro bullish pattern reminiscent of the pre-2017 parabolic breakout. Many in the XRP community hope for a resolution in the ongoing lawsuit between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs. Additionally, some community members advocate for Donald Trump’s re-election, believing it could benefit Ripple’s position in the U.S.
From a technical analysis perspective, if XRP can maintain its support in the 54 to 58 cent range, the price has the potential to rise to 87 cents in the medium term. This bullish forecast depends on XRP’s ability to maintain current support levels and continue to attract interest from both individual and institutional investors.
