Ripple (XRP) decided to throw a little tantrum on Sunday, Sept 28, by clinging stubbornly to the $2.80 support level like a toddler refusing to leave the playground. After a 4% rebound from its 75-day low of $2.74 (achieved last Thursday with all the grace of a deflated balloon), XRP’s week-end performance was less “chaos” and more “meh, I’m fine.” Meanwhile, Bitcoin and Ethereum sulked under their respective resistance levels like kids left out of the candy bowl at Halloween.
While BTC and ETH wallowed in self-pity at $110,000 and $4,000, XRP cheekily reclaimed $2.80 and even flirted with $2.83 intraday. “Look at me! I’m not a mega-cap loser!” it seemed to whisper to its crypto peers. The only thing more resilient than XRP’s price was my ex’s ability to ignore my texts.
Kalshi prediction markets, ever the drama queens, revealed a 3% surge in bets on XRP hitting $5 by year-end. Meanwhile, bets on $4 and $3.75 crumbled by 10% and 5% respectively. “Oops, sorry, we’re just here to fuel your nightmares,” Kalshi said, while Gold (XAU) gleefully sprinted past $3,700 like a gold-plated cheetah on espresso.
WHALE SPOTTED BUYING 17,555,420 XRP-IS THIS A PLAY FOR CRYPTO KING OF THE HILL? 🏆
As if XRP needed more validation, a whale (yes, one of those mythical creatures that hoards crypto) splurged 17,555,420 XRP ($48.9 million) on Sunday. Pseudonymous crypto guru @RippleXrpie, who’s basically the Queen of XRP Twitter, alerted her 425k+ followers with the enthusiasm of someone announcing a royal baby: “BREAKING: Whale buys $48.9M XRP. Don’t panic. Probably.”

Blockchain data revealed the whale hauled XRP from Kraken to an “external wallet” like a crypto version of Scrooge McDuck diving into a vault of coins. “I’m not greedy,” the whale probably muttered. “Just… strategically optimistic.”
While BTC and ETH wallowed in stagnation, XRP’s rebound was powered by whale-driven bravado. It’s like watching a penguin in a speedboat while everyone else floats in a kiddie pool.
XRP PRICE FORECAST: WILL $3 BE THE NEXT STOP OR A CRYPTO RED LIGHT DISTRICT? 🚦
With XRP clinging to $2.80 like a limpet, the question is: Can this $48.9M whale and Kalshi’s bullish bets overcome the crypto market’s collective case of the Mondays? Technically speaking, XRP’s Bollinger Bands are tighter than my budget in February, and the MACD line is playing chicken with the signal line. “If you dare to cross me, I’ll kiss your crossover goodbye,” it seems to say.
If XRP holds above $2.80 and the MACD decides to stop being a drama queen, a rebound toward $3.00 could happen. But if it slips below $2.80, prepare for a freefall to $2.73, then $2.60, and finally a teacup at $2.40. It’s crypto’s version of Russian roulette, but with more graphs and fewer revolvers.

In conclusion, XRP’s future hinges on whether whales and Kalshi bettors can out-spend the market’s apathy. If they succeed, XRP might just become the breakout star of late 2025-because nothing says “success” like a $48M whale transaction and a $5 price target. 💸✨
