XRP has reclaimed the $2.25 level after a brief correction, as on-chain data reveals renewed whale accumulation and growing investor confidence.
Analysts are now highlighting a key bullish confluence zone that could determine whether XRP maintains its upward momentum or faces another round of volatility.
XRP Reclaims $2.25 as Sentiment Turns Positive
XRP price today climbed back to the $2.25 level, recovering from recent market weakness and signaling renewed optimism across the broader crypto market. Data from Binance shows XRP reached an intraday high of $2.2570, marking a nearly 4% daily gain before consolidating near $2.23.

The move drew attention on social media after crypto influencer Bitcoin Professor (@Bitcoinprof0637) celebrated the milestone with a post promising a 10,000 XRP (~$22,500) giveaway. The post quickly went viral, though analysts have flagged similar “life-changing giveaway” claims as engagement farming tactics commonly used to boost visibility rather than execute real token transfers.
Crypto security experts continue to caution investors about unverified XRP giveaways, urging them to check wallet data and transaction records before participating.
Whale Accumulation and On-Chain Trends
Parallel to the price recovery, discussions around XRP whale accumulation resurfaced. A post from DOMINUS XRP Syndicate (@BaronDominus) claimed XRP was seeing “the most aggressive accumulation in history.” However, blockchain analysts pointed out that the chart used in the post was sourced from Bitcoin’s on-chain metrics—not XRP Ledger (XRPL) data—raising questions about the claim’s accuracy.

Actual on-chain data indicates that large holders have been gradually increasing their XRP positions, with notable wallet activity in the $2.50–$2.54 range. According to Santiment, active and sending addresses on the XRPL have reached six-month highs, suggesting steady interest despite broader market volatility.
Still, analysts argue that the scale of accumulation remains below levels seen during XRP’s all-time high rallies in 2017 and 2021, when network growth and trading volume were substantially stronger.
Analysts Watch Bullish Confluence Zone
Technical analysts continue to highlight a critical support confluence forming on the XRP price chart. According to TheSignalyst on TradingView, XRP remains in a downward-sloping channel that has produced consistent lower highs and lower lows over recent months.

“As long as the intersection between $1.75 and $2.00 holds, I’ll be looking for potential long opportunities, anticipating a short-term bullish correction toward the upper boundary of the channel,” he noted.
The setup is viewed as a key decision point for XRP’s next move. A bounce from the current zone could initiate a short-term recovery, while a break below $1.75 may invite deeper downside pressure.
XRP Market Snapshot and Broader Outlook
At press time, XRP’s market cap sits near $179 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $8.5 billion, showing strong liquidity despite recent market consolidation.
Optimism around a potential XRP spot ETF, Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin expansion, and developments in the SEC lawsuit continue to influence sentiment. However, short-term caution persists after $18 million in XRP liquidations triggered mild profit-taking.
Analysts remain split on near-term direction—a breakout above key resistance could drive XRP toward $2.90–$3.20, while a downside retest near $2.00 remains possible if momentum fades.
Final Thoughts
Despite the noise from social media-driven hype, XRP’s underlying fundamentals—including whale accumulation, strong liquidity, and expanding use cases on the XRP Ledger—suggest that investor confidence remains intact.

As the XRP price today stabilizes above $2.20, traders are closely watching the $2.00–$2.50 range as a defining zone for the next market leg. Whether XRP breaks higher or re-enters a correction phase may depend on broader crypto sentiment and progress in Ripple’s ongoing regulatory narrative.
