Large wallet movements often garner immediate attention, but their impact on price tends to be felt in the short term as traders react to the news. sustained price impact would depend on further developments or consistent whale activity.

At the time of writing, XRP was down 0.4% in the last 24 hours to $1.36 and down 4.34% weekly as the broader crypto market saw mixed trading action early Thursday. XRP fell for five days in a row to return below the 50-day MA at $1.394, but the positive aspect is that the price is holding above $1.3. A return above the 50-day MA might aid a comeback with XRP eyeing a rise to the $1.61 level, where it might face resistance. If XRP sustains above $1.61, a potential trend change might be on the cards. XRP price may then rally to $2 and later to $2.40. On the other hand, if XRP price continues to decline, it will put bears firmly in control. This increases the chances of a break below the $1.27 support. If this happens, XRP may drop to $1.11. #XRP News #XRP
