XRP’s price fell from $2.5 to $2.1 amid heavy whale dumping and market volatility.
Global macroeconomic factors, including new US tariffs, are fuelling crypto market instability.
Ripple
Ripple whales triggered a significant disruption in the
crypto market today (Wednesday), engaging in a massive selling spree amid a
broader market crash. Data from crypto analyst Ali Martinez revealed that in
the last 96 hours, these whales offloaded a total of 370 million XRP coins.
This massive sell-off caused the price of XRP to plummet by approximately 16%
during the same period, CoinGape reported.
As of now, the H1 chart for XRPUSD shows a rejection at
2.32300, with the price moving downward with strong momentum.
XRP Price Drops amid Whale Sell-Off
The data highlighted that the selling activity coincided
with a price drop, as XRP moved from $2.5 to the $2.1 level. As a result,
market participants are closely monitoring the situation, uncertain whether XRP
could experience further price declines in the coming days due to continued
selling pressure from whales.
The massive dumping has captured the attention of traders,
who are now bracing for a possible prolonged downtrend. This bearish outlook is
largely attributed to the heavy selling by whales, alongside broader market
trends. Analysts warn that the combination of large-scale sell-offs and current
market conditions could lead to further declines in XRP's value.
Market Volatility Escalates with Tariff Concerns
Currently, the cryptocurrency market is struggling with
heightened volatility. This instability is being exacerbated by global
macroeconomic factors, including liquidity setbacks and the imminent imposition
of new US tariffs, which are set to take effect next week. The potential impact
of these tariffs on global markets has added further uncertainty to an already
unpredictable market environment.

XRPUSD Shows Bearish Signal After Correction
The XRPUSD H1 chart shows that the price at 2.07000
experienced a bullish correction. However, it encountered resistance at 2.32300
and consolidated around this level for a while.
After forming an Evening Star pattern, the cryptocurrency
has been heading towards the previous swing low. The bearish trendline on the
H1 chart has been crucial in keeping the price down. Intraday buyers are likely
to avoid going long as long as the trendline remains a resistance level.
Ripple Makes Key Partnerships and Social Contributions
Ripple has recently been involved in several key
developments. The
company partnered with Revolut and Zero Hash to expand the reach of its
RLUSD stablecoin, positioning it as a competitor to USDT and USDC.
Investor activity has risen, with Ripple
whales acquiring 520 million XRP during a price dip. In a related
development, the SEC reassigned Jorge Tenreiro, who was involved in Ripple’s
case, raising speculation about the agency’s future strategy on crypto
litigation.
