XRP whales continue accumulation
Whales holding between 1,000,000 to 10,000,000; 100,000 to 1,000,000 and 10,000 to 100,000 continued accumulating XRP tokens. This is typically considered a bullish sign for XRP. Accumulation by whales implies that there is a reduction in XRP holdings across exchanges and a subsequent decline in selling pressure.
XRP holders and large wallet investors are closely watching the price chart for signs of a breakout in the altcoin.
XRP continued its downward trend, can the altcoin recover?
Jaydee, a crypto analyst and expert evaluated the XRP dominance and price chart. The expert notes that XRPLedger’s native token recently tested its dominance on the five-year trendline. A clean break and retest of Fibonacci levels within the orange box in the chart below would validate the bullish thesis for XRP.

Past the orange zone and the 3% dominance line will fuel Jaydee’s bullish thesis for XRP. The expert notes that every time the 21-week Moving Average crosses above the 50-week, there is a massive run up in XRP price.
The XRP/USD price chart below shows the previous two instances where the 21-week MA crossed over the 50-week, and the XRP price rallied to new highs. On April 10, 21-week MA crossed over 50-week one more time and Jaydee predicts a bullish breakout in XRP price.
The target for XRP price is its 2021 highs of $1.5 and $2, as seen in the price chart below.

A decline below the $0.28 level could invalidate the bullish thesis and trigger a correction in the altcoin.
