XRP price struggles at $1.30 despite whale holdings reaching 4-year high XRP has struggled to build momentum above $1.30 despite Santiment reporting that wallets holding at least 10 million tokens now control 46.87 billion XRP, representing approximately 68.5% of the supply tracked by the analytics platform. According to an October 27 Santiment update, the concentration of $XRP among large holders has reached its highest level since November 2022. The firm described continued accumulation by major wallets even as the cryptocurrency trades well below its September levels. At the time of reporting, XRP price stood at $1.30, up 0.5% over 24 hours but down 14.74% over the past month. Daily trading volume reached $1.35 billion, with prices ranging between $1.27 and $1.31. XRP whale holdings rise despite weak market performance Santiment’s latest figures show that wallets containing at least 10 million XRP have continued accumulating tokens despite the recent price decline. The reported 46.87 billion holdings represent a concentration level the firm has not recorded since November 2022. However, a rising balance among the largest addresses does not mean every category of whale investor is accumulating. As previously reported on whale activity, the number of wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP recently declined from 351 to 339, while exchange-associated balances increased. The difference reflects the distinction between the combined holdings of large wallets and the number of addresses within an individual balance category. Exchange custody arrangements and transfers between addresses can influence both measures, making it difficult to determine how much represents fresh investment. CryptoQuant analyst previously identified rising XRP deposits to biggest exchange, with the monthly average value of whale transfers reaching $112.4 million. Although exchange inflows can precede selling, the metric does not establish that every deposited token was sold. XRP price analysis shows buyers returning cautiously On the daily chart, XRP price was trading near $1.30 after repeatedly struggling to maintain a recovery above $1.30. Recent lower highs indicate that the token has yet to reverse its October correction, although some indicators suggest buying demand is improving. The Chaikin Money Flow indicator climbed to 0.06, moving into positive territory following predominantly negative readings during October. A positive CMF reading indicates buying pressure within the indicator’s measurement period, but it does not guarantee an immediate price recovery. Meanwhile, Bull Bear Power remained negative at −0.0368, showing that sellers still retain a modest advantage. The difference between the indicators suggests capital inflows are recovering without producing enough momentum to establish a sustained upward trend. Immediate support lies between $1.28 and $1.30, followed by $1.20 and $1.10. A daily close below $1.28 could expose the lower support levels, while reclaiming $1.35 would improve the prospects of a recovery toward $1.40 and $1.50. #XRP

Ripple Expands Its Robinhood Partnership: $RLUSD in Focus Ripple is extending its collaboration with Robinhood across stablecoins and financial infrastructure, bringing together three key services: - RLUSD: Ripple’s dollar-backed stablecoin. - Ripple Prime: Institutional prime brokerage services. - Ripple Treasury: Treasury management solutions. The bigger picture is the growing connection between stablecoins, traditional financial services, and digital-asset infrastructure. For $XRP , this is a development worth watching, but a broader partnership does not automatically mean immediate price gains. The key is whether it translates into measurable adoption and stronger demand across Ripple’s ecosystem. Market takeaway: Track adoption, stablecoin activity, and XRP price confirmation before treating this news as a bullish trading signal.

XRP just bounced hard off 1.2911 and is fighting to hold above the MAs — this is the exact zone where short-term traders get paid or get chopped. $XRP ‌ K-Line (Candlestick) Analysis (15m chart) Recent structure: Clear V-shaped recovery. Price dumped hard into the 1.2911 low (long lower wick + volume spike), then printed a strong sequence of green candles that pushed it back above all three moving averages. Current candles: After tagging 1.3086, price is consolidating in a tight range with smaller-bodied candles. The last few candles are mixed (green then red/pink), showing some profit-taking but no aggressive selling yet. Lower wicks are still being defended. Moving averages: MA5 (1.3026) > MA10 (1.2990) ≈ MA30 (1.2995) Price is sitting right on/near MA5. As long as it holds above MA10/MA30, the short-term bias stays bullish. Volume: Clear expansion on the bounce from 1.2911. Volume is now cooling a bit on the pullback — typical healthy consolidation after a sharp move. MACD (12,26,9): DIF and MACD both positive and above the zero line (MACD 0.0005 / DIF 0.0004). Histogram is green and expanding slightly. Momentum is still on the buyers’ side, though not extremely strong yet. Key levels from the chart: Immediate support: 1.2980–1.2990 (MA cluster) → 1.2945 → 1.2911 Immediate resistance: 1.3050 → 1.3086 (today’s high) → 1.3135 (24h high) Trade Plan (Short-term / Scalp–Intraday Bias) Bias: Mildly bullish as long as price holds above the MA10/MA30 zone (~1.2990). Long Setup (Preferred) Entry zone: 1.2990 – 1.3015 (current price area or slight dip into the MA cluster) Aggressive entry: Market / limit near 1.3010–1.3015 if it holds Stop Loss: Below 1.2940 (under the recent swing low structure). Tight stop if you’re scalping: 1.2965–1.2970. Take Profit targets: 1.3050–1.3060 (first resistance) 1.3080–1.3086 (previous high) 1.3120–1.3135 (24h high / stretch target). Risk management: Risk only 0.5–1% of account. Aim for at least 1:2 R:R on the first two targets. Invalidation: A clean 15m close below 1.2940 (especially with rising volume) flips the bias short-term bearish → then look for a retest of 1.2911 or lower. Alternative short setup (only if the bounce fails): Breakdown below 1.2940 with volume → target 1.2910 then 1.2850. Stop above 1.3000. Right now the path of least resistance is still upward while the MA cluster holds. Watch the next 1–2 candles closely if they reclaim 1.3050 with volume, the move toward 1.3086 --1.3135 becomes high probability.#KeyMacroWeekAhead
