The post XRP Starts 2025 with a Bang, Will the Rally Continue? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
As 2025 begins, XRP, the native token of Ripple Labs, has started on a strong note with impressive performance. However, some question whether this performance is driven by bullish price action or a shift in market sentiment. In this article, we will explore the factors behind XRP’s recent rally and determine whether this is an ideal time to invest in the token.
Why is XRP Rallying?
Data from the on-chain analytics firm CryptoQuant reveals a significant decline in XRP reserves on exchanges. What does this mean? It indicates that whales and long-term holders have withdrawn XRP tokens from exchanges before the rally began, suggesting significant accumulation of XRP.
According to CryptoQuant data, whales have withdrawn 20 million XRP tokens from Binance, causing the exchange’s reserve to drop from 2.94 billion to 2.92 billion in the past seven days. Additionally, the exchange has witnessed a significant outflow of 519.82 million XRP tokens. This highlights the extent of accumulation by long-term holders during the same period.
These on-chain metrics explain the other factors behind XRP’s recent rally. However, this data is limited to Binance, which hosts the majority of crypto users compared to other exchanges. Beyond centralized exchanges, the volume on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) appears to be continuously rising, which is also a positive sign for XRP holders.
XRP Current Price and Upcoming Level
Currently, XRP is trading near $2.40, having experienced a price surge of over 4.65% in the past 24 hours. During this period, the notable price rally and breakout have led to a surge in participation from traders and investors, resulting in a 35% increase in trading volume.
According to expert technical analysis, XRP appears bullish after breaking out from a flag-and-pole price action pattern, although it currently seems to be retesting the breakout level. Based on recent price action and historical momentum, if XRP maintains support above the $2.30 mark, it could rally by 80% to reach the $4.40 level in the future.
The combination of bullish on-chain metrics, growing DEX volumes, and strong technical patterns positions XRP as a promising investment for 2025. However, investors should remain cautious and monitor key support levels, especially around $2.30.
