A favorable scenario has emerged for XRP recently, according to a notable market analyst, who indicated that major whale investors are now the primary buyers of the cryptocurrency.

Despite XRP’s price experiencing a 5% dip and losing its fourth position in market capitalization to BNB over the past week, whales have shown increased purchasing activity.

Whales Taking Action

For over a decade, XRP has garnered a loyal following among retail investors, but the latest developments within its ecosystem indicate a lack of interest from these investors. The analyst highlighted a shift, stating that these retail investors are now disinterested in XRP.

The silver lining, as pointed out in a recent post on social media platform X, is that whales have intensified their accumulation of both spot and futures positions. The analyst described this as a “very ideal situation” for the asset.

In another update, CW reinforced this narrative, revealing that Ripple whales have continued their buying trend for over a year, primarily acquiring coins when prices dip before a potential upward trend.

CW mentioned that whales made significant purchases within the price range of $0.30 to $1.30, now targeting levels between $1.20 and $3.00.

Potential 30% Price Movement for XRP?

Analyst Ali Martinez observed that XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle on a four-hour chart, foreseeing a possible 30% price movement in the near future. However, for current market conditions, the breakout seems to favor a downward shift for the time being.

CryptoWZRD also commented on XRP’s recent performance, emphasizing the importance of the $1.34 support level, which is currently under pressure. Given the 5% drop over the week, XRP is now testing this crucial line, with potential to rebound toward $1.43 if it can stabilize at that point.
