It traded between $2.03 and $2.28 in the past 7 days. The move has stood out due to its size and timing, especially as there were no major headlines driving it.

That activity has since eased. XRP climbed from below $1.90 to $2.41 in one week, driven in part by ETF inflows and a decline in available supply on exchanges. Since then, trading volume and volatility have come down.<\/p>\n<p>XRP is trading at $2.06 at press time, with $3 billion in volume over the past day (per CoinGecko\u2019s data). The asset is down 13% in the last week. Without fresh news, the market remains focused on short-term ranges, with XRP following broader crypto trends.<\/p>\n<h2>Chart Pattern Resembles Past Cycle Setup<\/h2>\n<p>XRP\u2019s recent price structure is drawing comparisons to 2016 and 2017. Analyst ChartNerdTA <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChartNerdTA\/status\/2011007935313313915?s=20\">pointed out<\/a> that the token is moving through a similar reaccumulation range. In 2017, XRP followed a sideways phase, dipped briefly below support, then broke out. A similar pattern appears to be forming.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, the chart also shows a reset in the Stochastic RSI, just like before the last breakout. According to ChartNerdTA, XRP is holding its 13-month support base. \u201c<em>Invalidation consists of losing our 13-month support base<\/em>,\u201d the analyst said. That level remains in play.<\/p>\n<p>As previously <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripples-xrp-tests-historic-support-that-sparked-its-2018-surge\/\">reported<\/a>, XRP is close to its 21-month EMA, which aided the price during the 2018 rally. The token is currently holding above $2.04, with resistance at $2.10.<\/p>\n<p>ETF inflows and institutional demand continue to support the broader trend, though there hasn\u2019t been enough movement this week to trigger a breakout. Liquidity is light, and short-term levels are in focus as XRP continues to trade within its current range.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/720000000-xrp-bought-in-3-days-are-ripple-whales-preparing-for-a-pump\/\">720,000,000 XRP Bought in 3 Days: Are Ripple Whales Preparing for a Pump?<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A wave of large XRP purchases has been recorded on-chain, with long-term holders adding 720 million tokens over three days.
