Whales Sell 60 Million XRP Tokens

Further analysis showed whales sold 60 Million XRP recently further influencing noticeable changes in price trajectory.

The altcoin saw a consistent decline in large wallet holdings of 10 Million to 100 Million XRP during this period.

XRP’s price peaked near $2.43 reflecting bullish activity before a downward correction.

Following the peak, the price dropped to around $2.29, revealing increased selling pressure that disrupted the upward momentum.

A significant accumulation phase began in late December, coinciding with a brief rally. This rally indicated temporary optimism before heavy selling resumed.

If whales continue selling at similar volumes, the price could test lower support levels.

However, renewed accumulation by large investors could push the price back toward $2.40 or beyond.

The reduction in whale holdings aligned with broader market uncertainty, signaling potential for continued volatility. These whale activities remains crucial for predicting XRP’s near-term direction.
