XRP Whale Inflows Hit $112.4M as Selling Pressure Eases
XRP whale inflows to Binance averaged $112.4 million in the month, the highest level since March and above the roughly $90 million average of the previous three months, according to analyst Darkfost. The figure measures transfers involving more than 1 million XRP. Such exchange deposits can indicate potential selling, but do not confirm that tokens were sold. Inflows have since returned to more typical levels, suggesting the surge in selling pressure may be fading.
XRP was trading at $1.32, down 4.41% over 24 hours but up 2.66% over seven days, with $1.71 billion in trading volume. On the four-hour chart, XRP rebounded from $1.26 toward $1.40 but fell back after meeting resistance near $1.37. Analyst CryptoBusy identifies $1.38–$1.40 as the key breakout zone. A confirmed move above it could put $1.45–$1.50 in focus, while a drop below $1.33 may expose support at $1.30 and $1.26.
The signals are mixed: elevated XRP whale deposits raise a risk of renewed selling, while their recent decline and price holding above $1.26 offer some support. Traders are watching exchange inflows, trading volume and whether XRP can break and hold above resistance.
Neutral
The overall impact is neutral because the article presents opposing signals and does not establish that whale transfers caused XRP’s price pullback. The $112.4 million monthly average in whale inflows is a potential supply warning: traders often treat large exchange deposits as a sign that holders may be preparing to sell. However, deposits are not completed sales, and the reported inflows have since returned to more typical levels. XRP also remained above its $1.26 rebound low, suggesting the market absorbed the reported transfer activity without an immediate collapse.
In the short term, traders may react to changes in exchange inflows and to the $1.33 support area. A break below it could bring $1.30 and $1.26 into view, while sustained inflows could increase downside pressure. On the upside, a confirmed, volume-supported break above $1.38–$1.40 would improve the technical picture and could shift attention toward $1.45–$1.50. As in other episodes of large exchange transfers, deposits can prompt caution and volatility, but their market effect depends on whether actual selling follows and whether buyers absorb supply.
Longer term, one month of elevated inflows alone is not enough to establish a lasting trend. Traders will likely look for sustained changes in whale deposits, trading volume and price structure. Until XRP breaks and holds above resistance or loses key support, the evidence supports a mixed outlook rather than a clear directional signal.
