The token moved in line with the broader crypto market, with no major $XRP-specific event driving price in the session. $XRP stayed near $1.41 as buyers and sellers failed to take control, leaving the asset compressed between support and resistance.

Whale buying grows as analysts watch lower levels

Onchain data showed whale wallets added about 40 million $XRP over the past week. The buying came during a consolidation phase and suggested that some large holders were accumulating while the market remained uncertain.

At the same time, some analysts warned that $XRP could still move lower before any trend reversal takes shape. Crypto analyst Casi said,

“After over a month of rejection at resistance, it’s far more likely $XRP needs lower support ($1.09 / $0.87) before any real trend shift happens.”

The analyst said $XRP is trading within an ABC sub-wave inside a larger Wave 2 structure, with Wave 3 possibly bringing deeper losses before a recovery attempt begins.
