Whale Secrets Revealed: Will XRP Break to $1.81?

by

Investors in XRP woke at dawn to headlines heavy enough to bruise the air, as if February 11 had barged in with iron boots. Yet the pressure did not spring from that morning alone; it had gnawed at the walls long before, a quiet, inexorable chorus of unease that laughs at our bravest assumptions.

Over the span of two days, 229 million XRP drifted through a labyrinth of anonymous wallets, as if the market itself were a cold cathedral where souls shuffle in the dark. On February 10, Whale Alert logged 125 million XRP, about $177 million, gliding from one nameless receptacle to another, like a procession of faceless priests counting offerings for a god who rarely smiles.

The next dawn bore another 104.8 million XRP, worth almost $147 million, leaving its old address to waltz into new light. The sending wallet was among the top 60 XRP holders-a sign, perhaps, that a mighty whale plays a somber game of repositioning rather than a crowd’s panic. If only the theater were transparent, the crowd would stop pretending this is mere coincidence.

Whether those funds landed on exchanges or stayed hidden in the shadows of cold storage remains uncertain. The narrative would tilt if the money had arrived at an exchange; without that, one must call it a quiet rumor or a calculated rotation of boxes in a godless warehouse. The destination would decide whether the drama was a sale or a sly rehearsal.

Large orders rise as price falls – Accumulation or distribution?

CryptoQuant, that stern oracle, offers no drama diplomas but shows that both grand and modest whales kept their silhouettes visible even as the price sank by roughly half from its July pinnacle. A theater of stubbornness where the crowd panics, yet the stagehands-those vast orders-do not vanish.

The larger orders did not fade. They gathered, as if stacking wood for a winter that never ends, at lower price levels, and the average size persisted, unfazed by the frenzy of the many who traded their nerves for coins. A curious sight: hunger in the market, and yet the mouth that chews is not the retail crowd but the whale with a ledger and a grin.

And so the whispers grow louder-whales absorbing supply with ever-bigger buy orders. Not rock-solid proof, perhaps, but the pattern leans toward accumulation, as if the market itself were inward-turning, gnawing at its own tail in anticipation of some inscrutable dawn.

A bearish MACD cross on the bull flag – What’s next?

On 06 February, XRP’s price formed a bullish MACD crossover and rallied by 37%. Five days later, on 11 February, a bearish MACD crossover appeared as the price stitched a bull flag upon the chart, as if the market had suddenly remembered it is only pretending to be confident.

After that 37% surge, the price settled into the flag’s quiet geometry. For continuation, XRP needs a firm bounce at the $1.30-$1.32 range. A breakout from that threshold could grant another 37% ascent toward the $1.81 region. Meanwhile, the RSI lurked in oversold gloom, like a weary conscience in a crowded nave.

Fail to hold above $1.30-$1.32, and the bullish spell might unravel. The prior 37% advance could be recast as a relief rally, pointing the way toward $1.10. Perhaps volume expansion is required to prove that the buyers really mean it, or perhaps the chorus of doubt will drown out even the most stubborn believers.

Final Thoughts

  • Whale transfers and clustered orders hint at accumulation, but the true verdict rests on price defense and the stubborn heart of the market.
  • The $1.30-$1.32 zone will decide whether XRP breaks toward $1.81 or drifts to $1.10-the existential fork in a chart’s road.
