XRP has demonstrated significant strength following a multi-month bottom, as blockchain metrics and chart patterns suggest increasing whale accumulation.
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared on X that XRP successfully breached a symmetrical triangle formation following consolidation spanning approximately seven days. When Martinez published his analysis, the digital asset was changing hands around $1.1784. The token subsequently advanced to $1.24, representing approximately 5.2% appreciation, with the analyst projecting a near-term objective at $1.30.
This upward momentum comes after a challenging beginning to June. The token momentarily touched $1.03 during the month’s opening week, threatening to breach the psychological $1 threshold for the first time since October.
From that bottom, XRP has mounted a substantial 25% recovery, advancing from $1.03 to $1.29. However, the digital asset continues to trade approximately 32% below its year-to-date starting point.
Martinez previously identified the $0.90 region as a strategic accumulation zone in a June 8 post. His analysis referenced a monthly timeframe chart illustrating XRP’s position within a sustained bullish framework, anchored by an ascending support line originating from price levels near $0.11.
His extended-term price objectives encompass $3.32, $8.50, and $13, provided the long-term support structure remains intact.
Crypto market analyst JD (@jaydee_757) suggested on X that XRP might experience a temporary bounce if it successfully exits a descending wedge formation, though he cautioned that one final capitulation into lower territory could materialize before substantial gains emerge. He anticipates fresh record highs only following the departure of speculative traders.
Large Holder Withdrawals Drive Exchange Activity
During the June 3 to June 14 timeframe, more than 722 million XRP tokens departed leading cryptocurrency exchanges through substantial daily movements, based on CryptoQuant analytics. Binance processed 425 million tokens worth of these withdrawals. This activity represents the most concentrated whale-level movement observed since February’s opening weeks.
The Binance Whale versus Retail Spread metric, which measures the differential between institutional and retail-sized withdrawals, presently registers near 90%, indicating that major holders continue driving outflow activity.
On June 14, Upbit’s XRP net wallet flow dominance surged to 31%, climbing from 13% recorded just seven days prior. This represents the most elevated measurement for the Korean trading platform since May 2024, according to market analyst Amr Taha.
Risk-Adjusted Returns Indicate Potential Entry Point
XRP’s Sharpe ratio presently registers -0.36, declining from a positive 0.18 reading recorded in May. This metric evaluates risk-adjusted returns by comparing gains to price volatility.
Based on CryptoQuant historical analysis, XRP has typically generated average returns surpassing 50% during periods when the Sharpe ratio operated in negative ranges.
On June 12, Martinez identified a potential entry signal generated by the TD Sequential technical indicator on XRP’s three-day chart. Nevertheless, he observed that large transactions exceeding $1 million decreased 57% across nine days, falling from 157 to 67 occurrences, while major holders distributed approximately 60 million XRP during this window, according to Santiment analytics.
XRP was trading at approximately $1.24 at the time of reporting.
