$XRP is trading at $2.46, reflecting a slight increase of 0.82% from the previous close. The day's trading range has seen a high of $2.52 and a low of $2.41. This performance comes amid a broader bullish trend for XRP, which recently surpassed the $1 mark for the first time since November 2021, reaching $1.19 in November 2024. Analysts have noted significant whale accumulation, with large holders adding 3.44 billion XRP over the past two years, bringing total whale holdings to 45.61 billion XRP—the highest since June 2018. Technical indicators suggest that XRP is consolidating within a descending wedge pattern, often a precursor to a bullish breakout. A successful breakout could see XRP aiming for the $3 level, while a bearish breakdown might lead to a decline toward the $1.5 support level.
