According to the data recently provided by Santiment, the XRP large holder accumulation strategy has shown signs of reactivation since the start of the current year. Despite a slight dip in market valuation, the number of wallets with over one million tokens has begun to expand in a gradual and very consistent manner lately.
While the asset has experienced a 4% decline during this period, approximately forty-two new large-scale addresses have returned to the ecosystem’s accounting ledger. In this way, the liquidation trend observed in the last quarter is reversed, demonstrating a renewal of institutional capital confidence in the project and its future utility within the current digital finance landscape.
Furthermore, the analyses provided by the firm Nansen indicate that “smart money” has increased its exposure by 11.55% recently. Through this constant flow, the most successful traders in the digital market are positioning themselves for a potential shift in the current price structure, leveraging this consolidation phase to accumulate assets efficiently before any major volatility occurs.
The resurgence of whales and the consolidation of critical technical levels
Considering the volume accumulated by these entities, analyst CW suggests that the cryptocurrency is close to breaking through a wall of historically solid selling pressure. Therefore, if buying pressure manages to overcome resistance levels, the price could rapidly project toward two-thirty dollars, consolidating a very significant repulse that would benefit long-term holders and strategic investors.
On the other hand, asset manager 21Shares maintains that growing regulatory clarity and massive institutional support are setting the stage for sustained appreciation. Thanks to this environment, the network seems to be primed to experience sharp bullish uncoiling events similar to those observed in previous cycles, strengthening the competitive position of this financial technology globally.
Could broader market volatility impact the recovery of the XRP price?
However, analyst Pav Hundal warns that excessive optimism might rely too heavily on narratives currently surrounding political developments in the United States. Due to uncertainties surrounding the CLARITY Act voting process, any negative surprises could trigger immediate selling pressures, directly affecting the upward trajectory of the underlying asset and causing a significant technical correction in the short term.
Finally, although the Fear and Greed Index remains at cautious levels, the sustained increase in high-net-worth wallets is very encouraging. While Bitcoin continues to dominate general attention, the robust infrastructure of the XRP blockchain attracts investors seeking intrinsic value, hoping that whale accumulation precedes a movement of great magnitude in the global digital asset market.
