Long-term XRP investors who held their assets for more than 155 days recently pulled 8.25 million tokens out of their accounts. This move represents a 3.47% dip in \u201cHodler\u201d positions, dropping the total from 238 million to close to 230 million tokens.<\/p>\n

While these veteran owners are taking some money off the table, the broader market is seeing a massive influx of capital from a different class of participant.<\/p>\n

Big Investors Set A Much Higher Floor<\/h2>\n

Data shows that the largest holders, often called whales, are now aggressively buying XRP<\/a> at prices between $1.20 and $3. Previously, these same high-net-worth players were focusing their accumulation in a much lower bracket, specifically between $0.30 and $1.30.<\/p>\n

This change in behavior suggests that the biggest players in the space are no longer waiting for deep discounts to build their stashes. Instead, they are signaling a high level of comfort with the current valuation of the asset.<\/p>\n

\n

$XRP<\/a> whales accumulate only at the bottom before an uptrend begins.<\/p>\n

And they have been continuing their accumulation for over a year.<\/p>\n

This means that $XRP<\/a> whales are still preparing for a bull market. Their accumulation zone is $1.2\u2013$3.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The market cap for the token currently sits at close to $82 billion. Daily trading volume has hit $1.45 billion, maintaining a market dominance of 3.50%. Despite a tiny dip of 0.62% in the last 24 hours, the overall trajectory is defined by this shift in who is buying and at what price.<\/p>\n

Analysts are watching these on-chain metrics closely to see if the whale activity can offset the selling pressure coming from the older accounts that are currently cashing out.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rising Interest In The Derivatives Market<\/h2>\n

New long positions are flooding into the derivatives sector. Open interest <\/a>jumped from $737.72 million up to $759.21 million, marking a nearly 3% increase in active contracts. Reports indicate that the funding rate also improved, moving from -0.011% to -0.003%. This movement reflects a growing crowd of traders who are betting that the price will continue to climb.<\/p>\n

However, there is a catch to this excitement. Technical indicators like the RSI show a hidden divergence. If a price correction starts, the spot market might not provide enough immediate support to stop a slide. The current price of $1.33 remains the focal point for both short-term speculators and the whales<\/a> who are expanding their territory.<\/p>\n

Monitoring The Future Momentum<\/p>\n

Expectations for future price action remain tied to these large-scale movements. Records show that these major buyers are not dumping their tokens onto smaller retail investors. They are holding onto what they buy, which creates a supply crunch that could lead to more volatility. Market participants are now focused on whether the overall crypto environment will remain favorable enough to sustain this high-level accumulation.<\/p>\n
