The last move in the ABC correction ended near $1.88, aligning with the 161.8% Fibonacci extension. This level often marks the end of corrective phases.<\/p>\n<p>The asset is now approaching a descending resistance line. A confirmed breakout above this trend, combined with a move past $2.22, could mark the beginning of Wave 5.

Analyst CryptosBatman shared that the asset recently broke out of a bullish pennant formation. The move followed a recovery of the $2.15 support zone, which had previously acted as resistance. The breakout suggests increased buying activity. If this holds, near-term targets between $2.30 and $2.60 are in <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-breakout-loading-all-eyes-on-the-crucial-2-60-level\/\">view<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"you-may-also-like\" class=\"heading-4\">You may also like:<\/h3>\n<p>Another analyst, ChartNerd, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChartNerdTA\/status\/1994318173168934965?s=20\" target=\"_blank\">pointed out<\/a> that XRP is forming a rectangular bull flag. This pattern shows the price consolidating within a horizontal range after a sharp move up.

Addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP offloaded over 2.2 billion tokens in the past month. According to Steph Is Crypto, this was the largest drop since March 2023. Recent <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/460000000-xrp-moved-in-4-days-bull-trap-or-breakout\/\">updates<\/a> also show that 460 million XRP were sold in just four days. Whales moved nearly 1.5 billion XRP throughout the month, including 180 million earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these movements, the token has seen a mild rebound in recent days. However, whale holdings remain near their lowest levels. Binance reserves have also dropped to 2.7 billion XRP, the lowest in over a year. Around 300 million XRP <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/binance-xrp-reserves-sink-to-all-time-low-good-or-bad-for-ripples-price\/\">have left<\/a> the platform since October. These shifts reflect large-scale distribution and possible caution among major holders.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-12\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div><center><span style=\"font-size:11px; color: gray;\">SPECIAL OFFER (Exclusive)<\/span><\/center><br \/>\n<b>SECRET PARTNERSHIP BONUS for CryptoPotato readers: <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/goto\/bingxpromo\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Use this link<\/a> to register and unlock $1,500 in exclusive BingX Exchange rewards (limited time offer).<\/b><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 1 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-wave-5-starting-breakout-could-send-xrp-above-5\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#13; XRP nears key breakout level as analysts track Wave 5 potential; whale wallets offload 2.2B XRP while&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-crypto","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
