While the broader altcoin space has come under some sort of consolidation recently, XRP and Solana have continued to head northwards in a show of strength.

XRP Price on the Upmove

The XRP price has shot up by 3% in the last 24 thereby moving closer to $0.60 while taking its market cap to $31.7 billion. On-chain data shows that the recent price appreciation comes along with growing whale participation.

On-chain data provider Santiment reported that XRP has surged to $0.60, a price level not seen since August 16th. Notably, more whales have been entering the market, and the number of wallets holding at least 10,000 XRP has reached an all-time high of 277,620.

For now, the immediate resistance for XRP on the upside is $0.68. If the XRP price manages to beat this, some market analysts believe that the XRP price could rally all the way to $0.90 in the month of November 2023 itself.

On the flip side, the downside looks limited at present. CrediBULL noted that the current resistance phase for XRP doesn’t guarantee a significant price drop but rather hints at a consolidation period. Many altcoins face liquidity challenges in the crypto market, and an improvement in liquidity could lead to potential breakthroughs to higher price levels.

Solana Price Rally continues to $40

Solana has continued with its bullish momentum gaining another 7% over the last 24 hours and surging past $38 as of press time. With this, Solana has extended its weekly gains to more than 22% and monthly gains to more than 80%. On-chain data shows that the discussion rates for Solana have jumped to their 5-month highs.

As reported by Santiment, Solana has reclaimed the #7 position in the market cap rankings, experiencing a remarkable 62% surge in value during the month of October. Notably, nearly 2% of all discussions concerning the top 100 assets revolve around $SOL, and an increasing trading volume would be a positive sign for the cryptocurrency.
