Whales Shuffle 51M XRP: Whale Alert

According to data offered by the on-chain transaction tracker Whale Alert on X, two whales collectively shuffled 50.92 million coins, worth $27.45 million, over the past day. These whale transactions encompassed both accumulations and dumps.

Notably, 27.9 million coins, worth $14.91 million, were transferred by the renowned whale, ..Rzn, to the Bitstamp crypto exchange.

Intriguingly, both the whale addresses stage as renowned XRP whales, which CoinGape reported previously to be making similar transactions. The uncertainty of the transactions has further birthed contrasting market sentiments on future price movements.

Nevertheless, the Ripple-backed asset continues to surge unprecedentedly. This price upswing comes amid the anticipation of the conclusion of the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit.

Ripple’s Token Rallies 35%

At press time, XRP price traded at $0.5853, up 11.50% over the past day. Its 24-hour bottoms and tops were recorded as $0.5241 and $0.5925, respectively. The weekly chart showcased a phenomenal 35% price upswing, birthing further market optimism. This rising action comes against the backdrop of the broader crypto market recovery.

Additionally, the token’s futures OI surged 13.77% to $769.63 million, accompanied by a derivatives volume upsurge of 128% to $4.88 billion. This data further rationalized the digital asset’s market uptrend while also underscoring burgeoning investor interest.

Also, the RSI moved alongside 72, hinting that the asset might be slightly oversold. This paves the way for short-term pullback or corrections in price.

However, crypto market analyst Dark Defender took to X amid this price upswing, spotlighting the next vital resistance of $0.6044, then $0.6649. Should XRP scale these levels, crypto market enthusiasts expect further gains in the pipeline.
