XRP Whales Gobble Up 120M Tokens in 72 Hours: Is $5 XRP Imminent?
Whale alert: XRP's biggest players just staged a massive accumulation spree.
The Feeding Frenzy
Market movers snapped up 120 million XRP coins in just three days—enough to make any traditional finance broker choke on their morning coffee. While Wall Street analysts debate quarterly projections, crypto whales are placing billion-dollar bets in weekend trading sessions.
Price Implications
This aggressive accumulation signals strong institutional conviction at current levels. The $5 price target suddenly doesn't seem so far-fetched when you consider the buying power behind these moves. Remember when traditional finance called crypto a bubble? Meanwhile, their 'stable' portfolios are yielding less than inflation.
Market Dynamics
Whale movements often precede major price breakouts. With this level of accumulation, the stage might be set for a dramatic upward revaluation. They're not just dipping toes—they're diving in headfirst while traditional investors still worry about 'regulatory clarity.'

Will XRP USD Surge to $5? Ripple Whales Buy 120M XRP In 3 Days
This positive momentum positions XRP as one of the best cryptos to buy.
From the daily chart, immediate support sits at $2.60. Resistance first looms at $3, a clean round number and potential liquidation hotspot. Buyers must break through $3.20 to sustain the uptrend and close above September’s highs. Initial upside targets $3.40, with all-time highs NEAR $3.65 in sight thereafter.
Trading activity underscores the building interest. Data from Coinglass shows XRP volume surging across major exchanges: Binance reports $1.4 billion, a nearly +60% jump in the past 24 hours, with similar spikes on Bybit and Gate.io.

The long/short ratio, a key gauge of market sentiment, further tilts toward buyers, averaging 3:1 on Binance. That said, net inflows across exchanges turned negative over the last 24 hours, warranting some caution.
Yet even amid these mixed signals, whales appear undeterred and decidedly bullish.
On X, one analyst noted that Ripple bulls scooped up 120 million XRP in just three days.

During that period, XRP USDT climbed nearly +4%, firmly rejecting a drop below $2.70.
Exchange reserves tell a similar story of accumulation. After spiking in late August, they stabilized before declining from September 18, dropping from 3.6 to 2.8Bn XRP, then rebounding to around 3.5Bn at the time of writing.
