XRP whale investors withdrew about $170.8 million worth of tokens from Binance, lifting the $1.35 to $1.40 area as a key accumulation and support zone. CryptoQuant data show daily whale outflows topping 100 million XRP for the first time since early February. XRP has traded in a $1.30 to $1.50 range since early February, with analysts watching whether $1.30 holds and whether a move above $1.50 comes with volume.

XRP could retest a long-term core support zone in 2026, according to an outlook cited by The Crypto Basic. Analyst ChartNerd said XRP’s long-term Gaussian channel suggests a pullback toward the mid mean-reversion band next year, noting past cycles often returned toward the channel’s center after sharp rallies. XRP is trading around $1.31 after falling 4 percent in 24 hours as bitcoin slipped to $74,000, weighing on broader risk sentiment.
