While this doesn\u2019t sound like a big number when we are talking about a cryptocurrency with a market cap of almost $140 billion, the relatively small timeframe of just 72 hours is what\u2019s more worrying.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it showcases a highly different investment strategy for whales. Recall that these market participants, who have the ability to impact market prices with large sales or purchases, went on a massive accumulation spree in April, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/900000000-xrp-bought-in-a-month-what-do-ripple-whales-know\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">adding<\/a> over 900 million tokens.<\/p>\n<p>The revelation today coincided with an intriguing price move by XRP. The fourth-largest cryptocurrency started to gain traction alongside the rally in the rest of the market, in which BTC <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-rockets-to-new-all-time-high-above-109k\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">skyrocketed<\/a> to a new all-time high, and surged from $2.34 to a multi-day peak of almost $2.44.<\/p>\n<p>However, it faced an immediate and violent rejection at that point and was pushed south to the starting level within hours. As of now, XRP is back to around $2.35, which is just above a crucial support line ($2.3) that many <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/2-critical-warnings-for-ripples-xrp-price-details\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">believe<\/a> could make or break the asset\u2019s short- to medium-term price movements.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_397443\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-397443\" style=\"width: 1835px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/XRPUSD-2.png\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-397443\" src=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/XRPUSD-2.png\" alt=\"XRPUSD.
