In the latest X post, Ali Martinez pointed out that whales accumulated 30 million XRP in the last 24 hours. He claimed the crypto asset looked ready for a rebound after the recent crash.
According to Santiment data, whales holding 1000-10,000 XRP bought the dip. These whales have sold part of their holdings in the last few days.
Meanwhile, analyst CrediBULL Crypto highlighted that XRP is making a stronger recovery from this dip. He predicted that higher trading volume could trigger a rebound in XRP price above $3.
Rising Institutional Interest in XRP
As The Coin Republic reported, institutional interest in Ripple Coin (XRP) doubles amid accumulations by institutions. Institutional investments are leading the inflows amid the REX-Osprey XRP ETF launch.
XRP funds recorded $69.4 million in inflows in a week, up from $32.5 million in the previous week. According to Glassnode, XRP is witnessing a rising open interest, signalling renewed leveraged engagement and growing appetite for directional exposure.
CoinShares flows data also revealed that year-to-date (YTD) inflows increased to $1.51 billion, which boosted total assets under management (AuM) to $3.01 billion.
Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger has solidified its position as the trusted open-source settlement layer for global institutions. It ranked among the top 10 chains for RWA tokenization and reached its first month with over $1 billion in stablecoin volume.
XRP Price Performance amid Buy-the-Dip Sentiment
XRP price jumped 2% in the few hours to recover some losses, with the price trading at $2.86 at the time of writing. The 24-hour low and high were $2.80 and $2.88, respectively.
However, trading volume has slightly increased by 5% ahead of an upcoming $23 billion crypto options expiry and the US Fed’s preferred PCE inflation data. This indicated cautious trading in the spot market in the last 24 hours.
A breakout above the pennant pattern formation on the XRP chart could trigger a rally above $4. However, analysts expect a breakout above key resistance levels at $3.30 and $3.65 first.
CoinGlass data showed mixed sentiment in the derivatives market over the last few hours. At the time of writing, the total XRP futures open interest was down more than 1.5% to $7.71 billion in the last 24 hours.
However, XRP futures open interest on CME and Binance surged more than 1.2% and 0.90% in the last 4 hours, respectively. This signals buy-the-dip sentiment among derivatives traders.
