Whale Continues XRP Selling Streak, $0.42 Becomes Major Resistance Level

In the background of the crypto market’s bearish movement today, a renowned XRP whale has continued selling significant amounts of XRP. Notably, on-chain insights by Whale Alert reveal nearly 71 million coins dumped to exchanges over the past day, setting off discussions surrounding XRP’s future price action across the crypto industry.

XRP price currently takes the heat of the broader crypto market trend, slipping as low as the $0.39 price level. So, let’s gauge in on the market statistics for Ripple-backed asset.

On-Chain Data Flags Whale Dumps

According to data by Whale Alert, 70.9 million XRP, worth $31.29 million, was shifted to two exchanges in a couple of transactions. As per the data, the whale address, …Rzn, was recorded as shifting the abovementioned amount.

…Rzn shifted 35.8 million coins, worth $15.80 million, to Bitso, a Mexico City-based CEX. Simultaneously, it transferred 35.1 million coins, worth $15.49 million, to Bitstamp, a Luxembourg city-based CEX.

These dumps have presented XRP with increased selling pressure amid a bearish market, causing further downside pressure on the asset. Intriguingly, CoinGape Media earlier reported that the same whale address has been repeatedly dumping XRP into the Bitstamp & Bitso crypto exchanges. Aligning with this, a negative market sentiment sparked by the whale dump engulfs XRP.

Meanwhile, despite Ripple rolling out upgrades for the network and strengthening its case against the U.S. SEC, the native token, XRP, has continued its sluggish movement.

XRP Price Correction?

At press time, the XRP price chart showed a 10.15% dip in value to trade at $0.4056. Its 24-hour lows and highs were $0.3977 and $0.4532, respectively.

Intriguingly, in a post by the crypto market analyst Dark Defender today, it was brought to attention that the $0.39 price level serves as POC (Point of Control). This is where most trades have taken place since 2014, making it a vital support as of the current trajectory.

Whereas, after consolidating over the past week, the crypto tanked forming resistance at $0.42. The RSI was moving along 22, signaled an oversold territory for the asset. This could mean a potential price rebound ahead as the market recovers.

Also, pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan took to X today, spotlighting his XRP purchase with a strategic buy-the-dip sentiment. This has added to optimism on a price rebound ahead.
