• XRP price is rising alongside its exchange reserve, defying the norm.
  • XRP investors are holding onto their profit despite a 23% price rise in the past week.
  • XRP could extend its rally to $0.7400 after breaking above a key descending channel.

Ripple's XRP is up nearly 8% on Monday, as the remittance-based token stretched its weekly gains to 23%. If investors continue holding onto their profits, XRP may likely extend the rally toward $0.7400.

XRP on-chain metrics reveal expectations for higher upside

XRP's Binance exchange reserve has been trending upward since November 6, rising from 3.105 billion XRP to 3.177 billion XRP on Monday, per CryptoQuant's data. A similar upward move is also visible in the XRP Upbit exchange reserve, rising from 6.611 billion to 6.634 billion XRP.

While an increase in an asset's exchange reserve indicates potential for price decline, XRP's price has defied the trend, rising alongside its exchange reserve balance.

Meanwhile, the percentage of total XRP supply in profit has been rising steadily, growing to 85%, while its Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) crossed 56%. MVRV calculates the average profit or loss of all XRP holders.

During bull markets, profit-taking often ensues when holders' profits spike, as they did in the past few days. However, XRP's Network Realized Profit/Loss — which measures the average profit or loss of all coins that change addresses daily — has remained at 0 since November 5, per Santiment data. This indicates that investors are holding onto their profits in hopes of more upside.

XRP's Weighted Sentiment is also at high levels, reaching 0.066 in the past 24 hours. Weighted sentiment measures the social volume and sentiment of investors regarding a token. An increase in this metric suggests an influx of positive sentiment surrounding a token, and vice versa for a decrease.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP could rally to $0.7400 if it overcomes $0.6450 resistance

Ripple's XRP is trading near $0.6200, following $3.98 million in futures liquidations in the past 24 hours. Liquidated long and short positions accounted for $2.95 million and $1.03 million, respectively.

Over the weekend, XRP broke above its 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the upper resistance of a key descending channel.

The remittance-based token could continue the uptrend to tackle the resistance level near $0.6450. A firm close above this level could see XRP rally toward $0.7400.

On the downside, XRP could find support near the upper trendline resistance of the key descending channel.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is in its overbought region, indicating the likelihood of a potential price correction.

A daily candlestick close below $0.5608 will invalidate the thesis.

Ripple FAQs

Ripple is a payments company that specializes in cross-border remittance. The company does this by leveraging blockchain technology. RippleNet is a network used for payments transfer created by Ripple Labs Inc. and is open to financial institutions worldwide. The company also leverages the XRP token.

XRP is the native token of the decentralized blockchain XRPLedger. The token is used by Ripple Labs to facilitate transactions on the XRPLedger, helping financial institutions transfer value in a borderless manner. XRP therefore facilitates trustless and instant payments on the XRPLedger chain, helping financial firms save on the cost of transacting worldwide.

XRPLedger is based on a distributed ledger technology and the blockchain using XRP to power transactions. The ledger is different from other blockchains as it has a built-in inflammatory protocol that helps fight spam and distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks. The XRPL is maintained by a peer-to-peer network known as the global XRP Ledger community.

XRP uses the interledger standard. This is a blockchain protocol that aids payments across different networks. For instance, XRP’s blockchain can connect the ledgers of two or more banks. This effectively removes intermediaries and the need for centralization in the system. XRP acts as the native token of the XRPLedger blockchain engineered by Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto and David Schwartz.
