XRP rally faces next test at $1.6 after whale accumulation, says analyst
Demand for US spot XRP ETFs remained strong, with total net inflows exceeding $923 million as of Sept. 18.
XRP has climbed 8% in three days following more than $2 billion in whale accumulation, with the impact of the buying activity now visible in the token’s price, crypto analyst Ali Martinez said in a statement.
XRP RALLIES AFTER WHALES BUY. WHERE NEXT?
Recently, whales accumulated more than $2 billion worth of $XRP.
Now that demand appears to be showing up in price, with XRP rallying 8.22% in just three days.
But on-chain data suggests there may still be room to run.

According to Martinez, the token faces limited resistance at current levels based on on-chain data, while the URPD points to a larger concentration of about 2.5 billion XRP at around $1.6. The analyst said the level could become a potential profit-taking zone if the rally continues.
Elsewhere, US spot XRP ETFs continue to attract demand, recording more than $923 million in total net inflows as of Sept. 18, per CoinGlass. Bitwise accounted for the largest share, with about $377 million in net capital.
