XRP faces a technical milestone test, approaching the key level of $2.52. Despite a 6% decline this week, large holders are significantly increasing their holdings, with whales investing $60 million, and whales holding between 1 million to 10 million XRP also buying nearly $100 million, an increase of 5.2%. If it reclaims the 100-day moving average, it could trigger a larger rally.

【Crypto World】XRP is facing a major test at a critical technical juncture. The neckline is approaching the $2.52 level, and a reverse head and shoulders pattern may form. The price has fallen 6% this week and looks a bit weak, but the on-chain story is completely different.

Whales are secretly increasing their positions. A whale holding millions of XRP has suddenly added a $60 million position. Even more aggressive, whales holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP have quietly bought nearly $100 million worth since January 14. Long-term holders have also accelerated their accumulation in recent days, with an increase of 5.2%.

To reverse, XRP needs to regain the 100-day moving average. This line is not to be taken lightly — each time it was touched last September, it triggered a 12% to 16% rally. So the current signs of accumulation may indicate that a bigger move is brewing.

XRP-4,96%

Whales are eating up the chips, while retail investors are still hesitating. That's the difference.

This move by the whales is truly impressive; it seems the 100-day moving average can really be broken.
