XRP just endured one of its most violent sell-offs of the year. In less than 48 hours, whale wallets unleashed a staggering 200 million XRP onto the market — a brutal, fast-paced liquidation worth nearly $400 million.
According to Santiment, the wallets holding 1M–10M XRP led the assault, flooding an already fragile market with heavy sell-side pressure. And the timing couldn’t have been worse.
XRP was already wobbling under the weight of negative sentiment. Once the selling began, the price collapsed 10.32% in a single day, shattering the crucial $2 psychological level and plunging to $1.85.
📉 The Charts Look Ugly
XRP now trades well below both its 50-day and 200-day SMAs, flashing strong continuation signals for the bears.
The Fear & Greed Index: 14 — extreme fear.
24-hour sell volume: $7.2 billion.
Market mood: apocalyptic.
Unless bulls can force a reclaim of $2.30, analysts warn XRP could bleed further toward $1.50.
🌪️ Not Just XRP — The Entire Market Is Shaken
Bitcoin’s violent break below $85,000 and Ethereum’s slip under $3,000 triggered a chain reaction of liquidations across the board.
Macro headwinds — disappointing U.S. job data, rising unemployment, and fears of delayed Fed rate cuts — only amplified panic.
❓ Will the Whales Halt the Carnage?
The key question now: Are the whales done dumping?
If the selling slows, analysts expect XRP to stabilize and attempt a recovery back toward $2, targeting a short-term bounce into the $2.50–$2.70 zone. But reclaiming long-term resistance remains a tall order.
📅 2025–2026 Outlook
Medium-term forecasts look cautiously optimistic yet capped. Many analysts expect XRP to trade between
$1.96–$2.27 throughout 2025, with real upside momentum unlikely until regulatory clarity and potential ETF developments reshape demand in 2026.
For now, XRP faces a massive supply overhang, and the market watches one thing closely:
👉 Will the whales keep bleeding the chart—or finally step back?
