XRP Whales Can Cause a Major Market Dump Read CoinChapter.com on Google News
NEW DELHI (CoinChapter.com) — XRP Q1/2024 price action has seen a notable journey on the charts, marked by a recent surge and a subsequent challenge against key resistance levels. As of Feb. 14, the price action suggests a delicate balance between bullish momentum and potential bearish retracement.
XRP Q1/2024 Prediction
Technically, XRP’s price has approached a resistance confluence zone, a critical juncture that typically leads to a strong price reaction. This zone comprises a descending trendline, a 200-day exponential moving average (200-day EMA; the red wave), and a previously established horizontal resistance around $0.55.

The RSI on the three-day chart is neutral. If the price retreats, the next support lies around the $0.35 level, suggesting a possible 25% decline from the current levels.
Conversely, a breakout above the descending trendline could shift the target to $0.60, a level of historical significance that has acted as both support and resistance in the past.
XRP whales have reportedly dumped their holdings since February, a sign of diminishing confidence in Ripple’s position. This sentiment reflects a broader trend within the XRP news community, where stakeholders appear to be positioning themselves ahead of the legal resolution.

On the volume front, XRP has seen substantial activity, with a 24-hour trading volume crossing $700 million, reflecting heightened liquidity and market interest. Despite the recent dip below the $0.50 support level, XRP has been up by 45% since the beginning of the year, largely due to Ripple’s legal successes.
As the market digests these developments, a return to $0.60 in the short term is within reach, with potential for further appreciation by year-end.
In conclusion, while XRP’s near-term trajectory may face headwinds from technical resistance and an overbought RSI, the underlying market sentiment, driven by legal proceedings and whale activity, provides a weaker backdrop for its longer-term outlook.
