Against the backdrop of a sluggish trading session witnessed by XRP over the past week, the Ripple-backed token’s price has regained an upward momentum today, May 16, rebounding to the $0.51 price level.

Whales Shift 151 Mln Coins Sparking Speculations
Whale Alert, an on-chain analytics platform, has reported a staggering 151.31 million XRP being moved by crypto whales in the past 24 hours. These transactions, which indicate a mix of dumps and accumulations, have left the market sentiments on XRP’s future price action in a state of uncertainty.
As per the data, a renowned XRP whale, …Rzn, continued to dump significant amounts of XRP to CEXs Bitstamp and Bitso. Meanwhile, an unknown address, r99QSej32n, was registered to have accumulated a whopping 100 million XRP from Coincheck, a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange.
Although the massive amount of tokens accumulated in the past 24 hours undermines the number of coins moved to Bitstamp and Bitso, it’s worth remembering that the renowned XRP whale has been continuously offloading coins following Ripple’s strategic collaboration with the before-mentioned CEXs. Collectively, this data hints that the Ripple-backed token is witnessing both buying and selling pressure in tandem, causing a flurry of mixed market sentiments among crypto market investors.
