XRP whales increased their holdings of Ripple ecosystem’s native token by 25%
XRP network’s large wallet investors holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP have increased their holdings by 25%, bringing the total to 4.09 billion tokens. This is the level of accumulation seen at market bottoms.
XRP holders with 1 million to 10 million tokens
Interestingly, based on data from crypto aggregator Santiment, this level of accumulation is often seen at market bottoms. This group of holders typically has a significant influence on XRP price with the exception of the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) generated by the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit in December 2020.
Throughout the second half of 2022, XRP price fluctuated between $0.28 and $0.54. Sanr_king, a crypto analyst, identified a triangle pattern formed in the XRP price chart.
XRP/USD price chart
The altcoin has been in a downtrend since 2021, however the triangle formation reveals a larger upward trend that could potentially complete it. Currently, XRP price is at the bottom of the triangle, investors consider this an opportunity with potential for both low risk and high reward.
According to the Weighted Sentiment metric, the overall sentiment towards the altcoin has been negative over the last two months of 2022. However, despite the negative sentiment, the price of XRP has held its ground. The technical expert considers it a sign of “seller exhaustion.” Sanr_king therefore believes there is a likelihood of a recovery in XRP price.
