  • Whales accumulated 340M tokens, showing confidence despite market challenges.
  • Analysts are divided on XRP’s future, with some predicting a drop to $1.00 and others targeting $7–$8.

  • Institutional activity dominated early hours, with 164.9M XRP traded at 07:00–08:00 GMT, almost double the 24-hour average of 86M.
  • Whales accumulated 340M tokens (~$960M) over the past two weeks, signaling conviction despite broader market weakness.
  • Seasonal September softness and regulatory uncertainty remain key headwinds. Spot XRP ETF applications from Grayscale, Bitwise, and others are pending with U.S. regulators.
  • Analysts are split: some flag downside risks toward $1.00 after the July $3.65 peak, while others point to long-term breakout setups with $7–$8 targets.
  • XRP opened near $2.74 and advanced to a morning high of $2.83 on heavy volume before fading to $2.77 by session close.

  • Resistance: $2.83 is the immediate ceiling; $3.00–$3.30 remains the broader breakout band.
  • Momentum: RSI stable in mid-50s, indicating neutral-to-bullish bias.
  • MACD: Histogram converging toward bullish crossover as accumulation builds.
  • Patterns: Symmetrical triangle with consolidation under $3.00; break above $3.30 could target $4.00+.
  • Volume: Early-session spike to 164.9M signaled whale participation, later fading to 21.7M as retail dominated.
  • Institutional accumulation vs. analyst calls for a cycle top — which side defines September’s trajectory.
  • Pending ETF rulings as potential catalysts for inflows.
  • Breakout scenario: reclaim $2.83, then test $3.00–$3.30.
  • Breakdown scenario: lose $2.70 floor, exposing $2.50.
