Now, a November 5 analysis by CryptoQuant market technician CryptoOnchain claims to have the answer, attributing XRP\u2019s recent weakness to large holders shifting their funds to exchanges, which he considers a classic \u201csell the news\u201d setup.<\/p>\n<h2>Whale Selling Meets Market Headwinds<\/h2>\n<p>In a detailed report, CryptoOnchain <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/690b8b6b585e1c3c32f8d1a3-The-XRP-Paradox-%E2%80%94-Why-Good-News-Tanked-the-Price-An-On-Chain-Whale-Analysis\">broke down<\/a> what he calls \u201cThe XRP Paradox.\u201d\u00a0 Their assessment showed that from late 2024 through 2025, whale-to-exchange flows on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), particularly into Binance, rose sharply, signaling that major holders were preparing to sell long before the recent downturn.<\/p>\n<p>According to the analyst, this consistent rise in whale deposits represents a classic bearish signal. They noted that the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) of these transfers also hit record highs around Ripple\u2019s latest capital <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/brad-garlinghouse-heres-ripples-valuation-post-500m-capital-injection\/\">injection<\/a>, confirming that this was a planned distribution phase rather than panic selling, with the large investors using the rally to exit at higher prices.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe funding announcement created the perfect exit liquidity,\u201d CryptoOnchain wrote. \u201cWhales used retail hype to offload their pre-positioned supply.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The selling pressure that followed was immense, overwhelming demand, and driving XRP down even as the broader ecosystem showed strong growth.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the strain was the timing. The distribution coincided with Bitcoin\u2019s steep <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/crypto-carnage-continues-btc-eth-xrp-plunge-further-as-liquidations-top-1-1b\/\">drop<\/a> below $100,000 and Ethereum\u2019s slide under $3,200 earlier this week, wiping out over $1.7 billion in leveraged positions in a single day. XRP was not spared either; it broke below $2.40 and fell toward $2.09 before stabilizing.<\/p>\n<h2>Strong Fundamentals but Short-Term Pressure<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the bearish setup, CryptoOnchain\u2019s research concluded that Ripple\u2019s fundamentals are still strong. Recent <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-acquires-palisade-to-expand-institutional-digital-asset-custody-footprint\/\">acquisitions<\/a>, including crypto custody firm Palisade and a collaboration with GTreasury, point to deeper integration with traditional finance.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, several firms, including Franklin Templeton and Bitwise, have also <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-etf-race-heats-up-as-franklin-bitwise-revise-s-1-filings\/\">updated<\/a> their filings for a spot XRP ETF, with potential launches expected later this month.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIn the short-term, XRP\u2019s price will remain suppressed until the whale selling pressure subsides,\u201d noted the analyst. \u201cHowever, this event does not negate Ripple\u2019s strong long-term fundamentals supported by its new capital injection.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Technically, traders have <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/can-ripples-xrp-hold-the-line-analysts-point-to-next-crucial-support\/\">identified<\/a> $1.94 as a key support zone for XRP. EGRAG CRYPTO noted that the asset remains in an \u201caccumulation range,\u201d suggesting patient investors could benefit if the market stabilizes. But for now, whale activity and a shaky macro backdrop are keeping the lid on prices.<\/p>\n<p>The token has dropped nearly 22% over the past month, underperforming the broader market\u2019s 5% decline. Despite this, it remains up more than 330% year-over-year, with experts pointing to that as proof that its long-term momentum is still intact.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-price-stalls-despite-bullish-fundamentals-as-whales-keep-selling\/\">XRP Price Stalls Despite Bullish Fundamentals as Whales Keep Selling<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The price of Ripple\u2019s native XRP token has struggled to recover despite record network activity and strong institutional interest, slipping 10.7% in the past week to $2.30, according to CoinGecko.
