\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLarge XRP holders have continued accumulating despite retail selling.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
XRP briefly climbed above $1.16 and is being supported by accumulation from large holders rather than retail demand, according to the latest findings by Santiment.<\/p>\n
The analytics firm found that wallets containing between 100,000 and 100 million XRP expanded their holdings by 2.8% over the past five weeks. Wallets with less than 0.01 of the token, on the other hand, cut their balances by 5.2%.<\/p>\n
Santiment said<\/a> XRP has historically tracked the behavior of key stakeholders more closely than the smallest retail wallets, which makes the divergence supportive of the recent price recovery.<\/p>\n The accumulation trend comes as the crypto asset continues to benefit from a stronger market narrative, including the resolution of Ripple\u2019s SEC overhang and ongoing XRP Ledger activity tied to payments, tokenization, and RLUSD. At the same time, US-based spot XRP ETF products have continued to attract institutional interest<\/a>, recording nearly $12.5 million in net inflows so far this month.<\/p>\n Similar periods of accumulation by stronger holders alongside declining participation from micro wallets have often created conditions that favor further upside, the firm added.<\/p>\n From a technical perspective, ChartNerd said<\/a> XRP faced another rejection after testing its daily 50-day exponential moving average (EMA), the same technical level where its previous two rallies lost momentum. The price has since pulled back to around $1.13. Despite the rejection, he said the bullish outlook remains intact as long as the crypto asset holds the $1.11-$1.09 support zone.<\/p>\n Maintaining that range could preserve momentum for a move toward $1.25. However, the analyst warned that a break below the support area would weaken the current setup and increase the likelihood of falling back to the $1 level. He had previously rejected<\/a> claims circulating on social media that XRP had already broken out of the downtrend that started in July 2025.<\/p>\n Offering a similar view, analyst Ali Martinez also said a decisive move above the $1.13 level could confirm XRP\u2019s bullish breakout and open the door to further gains.<\/p>\n Others believe<\/a> the cross-border token continues to trade within a year-long descending pattern, and only a clear break above $1.20-$1.30 soon could invalidate the setup.<\/p>\n$1.13 Breakout in Focus<\/h2>\n
