XRP Price Analysis and Whale Activity

Sunday. January 5 at 1:00 AM

1 min. read

XRP's price has been consolidating with a minimal 2.2% growth in the last month. Despite a golden cross formation indicating potential bullish momentum, whale activity shows a lack of accumulation, possibly hindering further price increases. The Chaikin Money Flow remains positive but has slightly cooled, suggesting XRP's next moves depend on breaking above $2.53 or succumbing to bearish pressures near $2.33. The number of XRP whales holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP has decreased to 296, the lowest since December 24. This decline in whale numbers may signal bearish sentiment among major investors, impacting XRP's short-term price. The positive CMF reflects growing investor confidence, indicating potential stability or moderate gains in the short term. However, if support at $2.33 fails, XRP could face increased selling pressure towards $2.13. On the other hand, breaking above $2.53 could target $2.72 next.
