XRP Price Surge: Did Institutional Buying Fuel August’s Rally—And Will the Buying Spree Last?
Institutional money floods XRP—price pumps 30% in August alone. But is this a sustainable rally or just another whale game?
Behind the green candles: Big players quietly accumulated while retail slept. Now the question is—will they keep buying or dump on the next wave of FOMO?
Ripple's legal wins didn't hurt either. The SEC case fades in the rearview, and suddenly hedge funds remember this token exists. Funny how 'compliance' becomes attractive at double-digit gains.
Key levels to watch: $0.75 held as support last week. Break $0.90 and we're flirting with yearly highs. Lose $0.60? Enjoy the ride back to accumulation zone.
One truth remains: Banks love blockchain—just not enough to stop charging you $35 overdraft fees while using it.
Whale Demand Means Market Support
On-chain data shows that large holders are buying heavily. In the last week alone, whales purchased around 440 million XRP – an estimated $3.8 billion – including 120 million tokens on August 15 during a $10 billion market wide sell off. This aggressive buying shows long term confidence and may offset retail selling that happens during volatile swings.

Despite losing $15 billion in market cap since August 8 with prices dropping 8% to $3.08, XRP still has a fully diluted valuation of $308 billion. Daily trading volume has dropped 36% to $7.55 billion but whale activity is concentrated so this dip might be an accumulation phase rather than a breakdown.
Historically, large wallet inflows have preceded price stabilization and recovery especially when exchange reserves decline and liquidity tightens.
XRP/USD Technicals Point to Momentum
XRP price prediction seems bullish as the 4 hour chart shows a symmetrical triangle pattern building momentum. XRP has been making higher lows since late July and the price is below the 50 SMA at $3.20 which is also triangle resistance and a key pivot for the next breakout.
Candlestick analysis shows spinning tops and indecisive closes which are common precursors to strong moves. A bullish engulfing candle forming at the $3.02-$3.10 zone WOULD confirm demand. Technicals also support a bounce: RSI is at 48 so there’s room to go up and MACD is flattening and could be about to cross bullish.
If buyers take out $3.20 the next resistance zones are $3.38 and $3.51 and extended momentum could test $3.66. Below $2.89 would break the higher low structure and give the bears control.
XRP/USD Trade Setup
For traders the setup is to be patient with a defined risk reward:
- Entry Zone: $3.10-$3.15
- SL: $2.99
- T1: $3.38
- T2: $3.51
- T3: $3.66
This is a good medium term setup with minimal downside risk. Whales are still buying and technicals are tightening, XRP could go higher if overall market turns positive.
