With increased whale activity and new updates on the SEC trial, is XRP set to see a 10x surge?
One currency that has received close attention is XRP, as recent data shows a clear increase in the number of whale wallets holding between 10 million and 100 million XRP. In just a few weeks, these large investors have stepped up their accumulation of the token.
For example, starting in mid-to-late March, the number of such wallets increased from 1,537 to 1,565. This accumulation pattern often signals a future bull run. Historically, when whales make a big move, it reflects their belief that the asset has the potential for huge gains and often sets off a chain reaction.
Encouraged by significant investor confidence, retail investors often follow suit, increasing demand and driving up prices.
According to CoinGecko, as of November 23, 2024, XRP is trading at approximately $1.53.
Analysts are still observing technical indicators that support a bullish outlook for XRP. The formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the XRP price chart is often interpreted as a sign of consolidation before a breakout. If XRP successfully breaks through key resistance levels, it could pave the way for a significant upward move.
Some predictions are particularly optimistic, with discussions suggesting that the price of XRP could reach $1,000, but these targets are speculative and depend on various market factors. However, these predictions should be taken with caution. The market is unpredictable, and while whale accumulation is a positive signal, it does not guarantee anything.
For example, the ongoing legal challenges faced by Ripple Labs, particularly those from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), are imminent and add a layer of uncertainty.
Complicating matters further, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler announced his resignation, effective January 20, 2025. However, this is seen as good news in the crypto community, as Gensler is known for his strict stance on cryptocurrencies.
Observers speculate that the new leadership at the SEC may take a more favorable stance towards digital assets, which could impact the outcome of the Ripple case.
