The cryptocurrency market continues to thrive as BTC dominance dips to 55.04%, down from its recent high of 61.53%. This shift has paved the way for a bullish rally across major altcoins, including XRP, which has been one of the standout performers over the last 30 days.
XRP has surged by an incredible 356% in the past 30 days, reaching a peak of $2.90 before experiencing a correction. Profit-taking brought the price down to $2.22 earlier this week.
However, the coin appears to have regained its upside momentum, climbing over 5% today and currently trading at $2.52.
Whales Bought the Dip
During the recent correction, whale activity in the XRP market spiked significantly. According to crypto analyst ali_charts, whales took advantage of the price dip from $2.90 to $2.22 by accumulating over 120 million XRP, amounting to $288 million.
This type of whale accumulation is often seen as a bullish signal, reflecting confidence among large holders in the asset’s potential for future gains.
What’s Ahead for XRP?
Today’s gains of over 5% came after XRP successfully cleared its key resistance zone at $2.50. This breakout pushed the price to a high of $2.57 before it settled back to around $2.52.
From here, if this is a retest and XRP manages to reverse and climb above its recent high of $2.57 (marked by the blue line), it could spark a significant upside move. This rally could drive XRP to its next resistance level at $2.68, with the potential to retest its earlier high of $2.92—a 15% increase from the current price.
However, if XRP fails to hold and drops below the $2.41 support level of this resistance zone, it may revisit the $2.22 range.
The current market structure, supported by whale confidence and broader altcoin strength, suggests XRP is well-positioned for further gains. However, traders should remain cautious and closely monitor key support and resistance levels for clearer trend confirmation.
