XRP Whale Adds 52 Million Tokens Amid Breakout, Buy Signal or What?

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.

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.
