The post XRP Whale Adds 52 Million Tokens Amid Breakout, Buy Signal or What? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The cryptocurrency market has experienced a notable upside rally in the past few days. Amid this rally, Ripple’s native token XRP remained consolidating.
Crypto Whale Adds 50 Million XRP Tokens
On October 21, 2024, the blockchain-based transactions tracker Whale Alert made a post on X (Previously Twitter) that a crypto whale withdrew a significant 52 million of XRP tokens worth $28.67 million, from the ByBit cryptocurrency exchange.
This massive token withdrawal following the breakout has shifted the sentiment from a downtrend to an uptrend.
XRP Technical Analysis and Key Levels
According to the expert technical analysis, XRP appears bullish as it has recently broken out from a prolonged consolidation phase. Despite this major breakout, it isn’t confirmed whether this rally will continue or not.
Based on the recent price action and historical price momentum, if XRP closes its daily candle above the $0.578 level, there is a strong possibility the token could rally by 20% to reach the $0.67 level in the coming days.
However, XRP’s bullish thesis will only hold if it closes its daily candle above the $0.578 level, otherwise, it may fail.
Bullish On-Chain Metrics
XRP’s bullish outlook is further supported by on-chain metrics. According to the on-chain analytics firm CoinGlass, XRP’s long/short ratio currently stands at 0.99, indicating a weak strength among traders. Whereas, its open interest has jumped by 3.9% and has been steadily rising. This rising open interest suggests buildups of new positions by traders.
As of now, the major liquidation levels are at $0.537 on the lower side and $0.561 on the upper side, with traders over-leveraged at these levels, according to the Coinglass.
