XRP Enters $1.40 Value Zone as Whales Withdraw $170 Million From Exchanges

XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with blockchain payments company Ripple, has regained traders’ attention after a sharp rally. Its price is influenced by broader crypto-market risk appetite, regulatory expectations and momentum-driven flows. The latest advance is significant because holding those gains could strengthen the case for a more durable trend reversal, while a swift retreat would suggest the move was largely a short-term rebound.

XRP surged about 46% in a single week and briefly reached $1.55 before cooling to around $1.45, according to the latest report. Short-term momentum remains firm, but moving averages and other technical indicators point to continuing resistance over the medium term. Traders are watching whether the area near $1.45 can provide support and whether XRP can regain enough momentum to break above its recent high.

XRP had mounted a breakout rally as buying returned to the broader cryptocurrency market, but encountered selling pressure near a key technical resistance level. The $1.20 mark is an important gauge of bullish and bearish momentum. Failure to hold above it could push the token into short-term range-bound trading and increase the risk of another test of support.

In the latest trading, XRP fell about 4% after its breakout attempt stalled, dropping below $1.20. Buying support has emerged in the $1.17–$1.18 range. Traders are watching whether that area will hold. XRP would need to reclaim $1.20 to have a chance of restoring upward momentum; otherwise, selling pressure could persist.

XRP is the crypto asset used in the Ripple ecosystem, and exchange balances are often viewed as an indicator of short-term selling pressure. When whales move tokens off major exchanges such as Binance, it typically suggests that holdings are being transferred to private wallets or held for the long term, reducing the supply available for immediate sale. However, such withdrawals do not necessarily mean the price is about to rise.

More than 720 million XRP have left major cryptocurrency exchanges since June 3, with whale withdrawals from Binance the most pronounced. Risk-adjusted return data suggest that XRP may currently be in an accumulation range. Based on those indicators, market analysts estimate that a subsequent rebound could reach 50% if buying demand and broader market conditions are supportive.

XRP remained capped within the $1.18–$1.20 range for an extended period after the market's sharp June sell-off. The latest breakout marks its first clear upside signal in recent months. Because $1.20 is both a key psychological threshold and a technical resistance level, whether XRP can hold above it will shape traders' assessments of the trend and market momentum.

In the latest trading, XRP rose about 8% and broke through resistance at $1.18 and $1.20 in succession, reaching its highest level since the June sell-off. The move was accompanied by a marked increase in trading volume and improving technical indicators. The market will now watch whether $1.20 can become support and whether XRP can advance toward the resistance zone near $1.30.

XRP, the native asset of the XRP Ledger, is often influenced by Bitcoin and broader crypto-market risk appetite. Despite recent bullish signals including ETF inflows and exchange outflows, buying failed to sustain a rebound. The loss of support at $1.36 also shifted the market structure from consolidation to a bearish bias.

XRP plunged 9.1% in a day, first breaking below $1.36 before briefly sliding below $1.30, with a low near $1.32, and touching a 16-week low. Traders are watching the June monthly open area and the $1.30 level for signs of stabilization. If selling pressure persists, the next area of interest is $1.20, while an extreme scenario could see XRP test $1.

XRP, a crypto asset closely associated with Ripple’s payments ecosystem, has recently traded within a narrow range. Despite continued accumulation by spot ETFs and large on-chain wallets, its near-term direction still hinges on whether buying demand can absorb profit-taking. The $1.40 level has therefore become a key line for the market in determining whether bulls or bears take control.

After repeatedly failing to breach resistance between $1.43 and $1.45, XRP fell about 3.3% in its latest pullback to around $1.41 and briefly dipped below $1.40 intraday. Trading volume exceeded its recent average, indicating that sellers remain in control of the short-term trend. A break below $1.40 could extend the decline, while a move back above $1.45 would improve the chances of escaping the consolidation range.

XRP is the native cryptoasset of the Ripple ecosystem and the XRP Ledger, and changes in the number of wallets holding the token are often used to gauge capital flows. The continued rise in addresses holding more than 10,000 XRP suggests that large holders are accumulating during a period of price consolidation, making $1.50 a key resistance level for the next trend.

The latest data show that the number of addresses holding more than 10,000 XRP has reached an all-time high of 332,000. The XRP Ledger also processed a record 71 million transactions in April. Analysts say a decisive break above $1.50 could put XRP on course to target $2 in the next phase.

XRP is the crypto asset used for cross-border payments and settlement within the Ripple ecosystem. Its price is often influenced by technical patterns and exchange flows. A similar breakout pattern in 2025 was followed by a cumulative 66% rally, making the latest bull-flag breakout and fund movements at South Korea's Upbit key indicators of the near-term trend.

The latest reports show XRP retested support after breaking out of a bull flag and remained above $1.42. Technical analysis points to a target of $1.70–$1.72, implying potential gains of about 20%. Over the same period, XRP withdrawals from South Korea's Upbit reached an all-time high, prompting market speculation that large holders may be moving tokens off the exchange to accumulate them.

XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger, and changes in exchange balances are often used by the market to gauge potential selling pressure. Santiment said investors moving XRP to private wallets typically signals less willingness to sell in the short term, although fund flows alone do not guarantee a price increase.

Santiment data showed that about 35 million XRP left exchanges over the past 24 hours, marking the sixth-largest single-day outflow this year. Market analysts said XRP could rise by about 30% by June if previous supply-contraction patterns recur, though broader crypto-market volatility remains a risk.

XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger and is closely tied to Ripple Labs’ cross-border payments business. Large token outflows from exchanges typically signal a decline in supply available for immediate sale. If prices do not rise in tandem, the resulting supply-demand divergence can build momentum, making it an important indicator for gauging the direction of future volatility.

On-chain data showed that about 7.03 billion XRP left exchanges in February, even as the price traded near $1.34 at one point. It recently fell to $1.31 after a failed breakout. Analysts said tighter liquidity could amplify subsequent volatility. If XRP retakes resistance at $1.35, it could reach $1.42.
