At current prices, this stash is worth around $2 billion. The timing of the buying spree was quite intriguing, as it began with the <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/breaking-us-senate-fails-to-advance-crypto-clarity-act-heres-what-this-means\/\">CLARITY Act setback<\/a> in the US Senate, which <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/why-xrp-was-hit-hardest-after-the-clarity-act-senate-failure\/\">pushed<\/a> the token&#8217;s price down sharply.<\/p>\n<p>However, accumulating over 1.5 billion tokens in such a short time has helped the asset recover, which is among the reasons XRP surged to over $1.45 on Friday and Saturday after it had bottomed at $1.27 on Tuesday following the Senate vote.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">$2 BILLION IN XRP BOUGHT BY WHALES<\/p>\n<p>Whale activity on the XRP network has surged over the past 96 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Large holders appear to have accumulated roughly 1.54 billion <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a>, worth around $2.2 billion.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a significant accumulation spike that could soon translate into price\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cBssFmv3wQ\">https:\/\/t.co\/cBssFmv3wQ<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ty3ukakDvi\">pic.twitter.com\/Ty3ukakDvi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/alicharts\/status\/2101284166151078161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 19, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Martinez also believes that this spectacular accumulation spree can soon &#8220;translate into price action, leading to a bullish breakout.&#8221; He has previously predicted that XRP is <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-xrp-prints-an-extremely-bullish-signal-is-this-the-perfect-buying-opportunity\/\">primed<\/a> to challenge the key psychological level at $2.00.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-targets\">Next Targets<\/h2>\n<p>Crypto Patel also <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CryptoPatel\/status\/2101211941863583896\">noted<\/a> that XRP is sitting above a &#8220;major long-term accumulation zone&#8221; on the 2-week chart, and it has reclaimed its long-term structure. As such, the analyst outlined some major targets that begin with the potential run toward the first crucial resistance at $1.70. If that one falls, the asset could head toward $3.00, and Patel&#8217;s long-term target remains at a whopping $10 or even beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Dark Defender said XRP&#8217;s 5-wave structure is &#8220;rock solid,&#8221; after the asset &#8220;said bye-bye&#8221; to a key resistance capping its breakout attempts. The analyst was slightly more modest in their predictions, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DefendDark\/status\/2101277388705333556\">indicating<\/a> that the next targets for XRP are $1.70 and $1.88. Recall that XRP&#8217;s run in mid-August was halted at the former, after it skyrocketed by 70% in less than 72 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-whales-go-on-massive-accumulation-spree-bigger-xrp-price-move-coming\/\">Ripple Whales Go on Massive Accumulation Spree: Bigger XRP Price Move Coming?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-whales-go-on-massive-accumulation-spree-bigger-xrp-price-move-coming\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Citing data from Santiment, popular analyst Ali Martinez noted on Saturday that Ripple whales have gone on a&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35230,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47278","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\/47278","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=47278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/35230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=47278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=47278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/financialrush.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=47278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
