XRP Price Holds $1 as Whale Inflows Fall to 2021 Low.
XRP Price Holds $1 as Whale Inflows Fall to 2021 Low. The price remained near $1, down about 3.2% over the past seven days, as whale transfers to Binance dropped to $61 million, the lowest three‑month average since 2021. Reduced inflows generally lower immediate sell pressure, but they do not guarantee a price increase. CryptoQuant contributor Darkfost reported that the three‑month average of XRP whale inflows to Binance fell to $61 million, compared with $456 million in January 2025 and $355 million in October 2025. Daily trading volume averaged $900 million and the market capitalization stood at $62.8 billion. The daily relative strength index was 36.02, below its signal average of 39.21, indicating limited upward momentum while staying above the 30 oversold level. The 4‑hour chart showed a falling wedge pattern formed after a high near $1.165 on July 21, with price approaching the convergence point of the wedge. A breakout above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement at $1.024 could target $1.055 and $1.076, with resistance near $1.097 and $1.123. The lower Bollinger band at $0.9866 provides immediate support; a breach could push price toward $0.95. CoinGlass liquidation heatmaps show clusters of leveraged positions around $1.01 and $1.02‑$1.03, which could amplify a rebound if triggered. While reduced whale inflows lessen one source of selling pressure, sustained buying demand is required for a lasting recovery. The article does not constitute investment advice.
