While these investors continue to accumulate the leading altcoin, their buying patterns on the network closely resemble those seen in the past.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Glassnode, a popular on-chain data analytics platform, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/glassnode\/status\/2013280386785112488?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">disclosed <\/a>this pattern after examining the XRP Realized Price by Age (7-day Moving Average) metric. Specifically, the XRP Realized Price by Age is a key metric that determines the average price at which various cohorts of holders, divided by the length of time they have owned their tokens and last moved them.<\/p>\n<p>As the price of XRP fluctuates, the chart shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/xrp-short-term-holder-activity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">short-term holders<\/a> are steadily building positions. This type of silent accumulation has been seen in the past when conviction-driven capital absorbs supplies before wider market notice, making it a critical period for the altcoin.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-658388 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=640&amp;resize=640%2C360\" alt=\"XRP\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=3200 3200w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=640 640w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=980 980w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=750 750w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=1140 1140w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/XRP-chart-from-Glassnode.jpeg?w=3000 3000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/p>\n<p>According to the data analytics platform, the current market structure for XRP is showing a striking resemblance to that of February 2022. A clear look into the chart reveals that active investors over the weekly to monthly timeframe window are now accumulating strongly, suggesting that bullish sentiment is returning toward the token.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting thing about this accumulation is that it is happening below the cost basis of wallet addresses <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/when-holding-at-least-10000-xrp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">holding the altcoin<\/a> between 6 months and 12 months. In the meantime, top purchasers continue to face increased psychological strain as long as this structure remains in place.<\/p>\n<h2>Why You Should Be A Patient Holder Of The Asset<\/h2>\n<p>Should this accumulation persist, the action is likely to lay the groundwork for another push higher. However, some investors remain skeptical about another upward move, especially to a new all-time high.<\/p>\n<p>Crypto expert Bird has <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Bird_XRPL\/status\/2013269266858918109?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">outlined<\/a> the potential for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/breaking-news-ticker\/is-a-new-xrp-price-record-imminent-analyst-forecast-colossal-short-squeeze-ahead\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">XRP to experience a rally to a new all-time high<\/a>, attributing it to the token\u2019s design and growing role in the financial sector. The analyst stated that XRP is emerging as the foundation of the new financial system, not just another speculative asset.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the token has become a means for liquidity, payments, tokenization, and real-world use. \u201cYou don\u2019t accidentally end up with something like this. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/ripple-zero-knowledge-proofs-for-xrp-ledger\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Ripple<\/a> has created something special and world-changing,\u201d the expert added.<\/p>\n<p>Bird stated that these kinds of assets only occur once in a lifetime, while encouraging investors to seek more insights about the token. This is because most people only become aware of them after the shift has already taken place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/Cvq7hdgk\/\" alt=\"XRP \" width=\"2084\" height=\"1552\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After experiencing a slight upward push a few days ago, the price of XRP has pulled back as volatility slowly takes over the broader cryptocurrency market.
