According to Santiment data, since the beginning of this year, the number of whale addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP has increased by 1.2%, with their holdings accounting for 9.44% of the total supply. These large holders have chosen to continue accumulating as the price fell to $1.60, demonstrating confidence in future price increases, reducing market selling pressure, and boosting retail investor confidence.
Before the deadline, the open interest (OI) of XRP slightly increased by 0.32% to $3.65 billion, indicating a slight increase in trader confidence. However, trading volume decreased by 17% to $3.9 billion, reflecting that some investors remain on the sidelines, waiting for a clear direction in the market.
If XRP can break through the downward trend line and the previous high of 2.9 dollars, it may challenge the target of 4 dollars. If the China-U.S. trade negotiations go smoothly, along with continuous buying from whales and optimistic market sentiment, XRP is expected to see a breakthrough. However, investors need to pay attention to the stability of support levels and changes in trading volume to verify the sustainability of the uptrend.
Whether XRP can reach 4 dollars depends on market support and global economic momentum. The future trend remains uncertain, and investors should closely monitor market changes, operate cautiously, and seize potential opportunities.
