- XRP rose 3% in 24 hours, with significant institutional trading activity.
- 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.
- XRP rose 3% in the 24-hour window from Sept. 1 at 03:00 to Sept. 2 at 02:00, moving between $2.70–$2.83 on 5% intraday volatility.
- 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.
- Support repeatedly held at $2.70–$2.74, while $2.83 was rejected as short-term resistance.
- Late session (23:18–00:17 GMT) saw a 0.68% move from $2.74 to $2.77, with 2M+ tokens per minute traded during peak bursts, confirming institutional flows.
- Support: $2.70–$2.74 established as the near-term floor.
- 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.
