XRP Whale Accumulation Intensifies: $4 Rally Imminent as Big Money Positions Itself

Massive whale activity triggers speculation of major XRP price breakout.

Whales are gobbling up XRP at an accelerated pace—positioning for what could be the token's most explosive run since the 2017 bull market. On-chain data reveals consistent large-volume purchases, suggesting institutional or high-net-worth players are building substantial positions.

Market analysts point to growing optimism around Ripple’s expanding regulatory clarity and enterprise adoption. While retail traders chase memecoins, smart money quietly accumulates—classic Wall Street behavior, just on a blockchain.

If buying pressure sustains, XRP could challenge the psychologically crucial $4 level—a move that would shock skeptics and delight long-term holders. Timing? Unclear. Momentum? Building.

Just remember: in crypto, whales eat first—everyone else gets the leftovers.

Rebound signs amid uncertain backdrop

Beyond the whale accumulation data, Martinez highlighted that the TD Sequential indicator shows back-to-back buy signals for XRP, suggesting a rebound setup is in play.

The technical formation adds weight to the whale buying pattern, providing both fundamental and technical support for a potential upward move.

The TD Sequential, a momentum oscillator used to identify potential reversal points, typically generates buy signals when an asset becomes oversold and positioned for a bounce.

However, the bullish signs happen amid conflicting market signals for altcoin performance.

An Aug. 25 Bitfinex report identified capital rotation from Bitcoin to ethereum and broader altcoin markets. Institutional liquidity extended along the risk curve following Bitcoin’s consolidation near all-time highs.

While Bitcoin consolidated after reaching a price peak, Ethereum led an altcoin recovery, resulting in new all-time highs above $4,950, as ETF flows and corporate treasury demand provided support.

Altcoins stagnating

Although this momentum could FLOW from Ethereum to other altcoins, a Sept. 1 Bitfinex Alpha report presented a more bearish near-term outlook for altcoins.

The analysis noted that altcoin market capitalization is stagnating, with movement in individual tokens representing capital rotation rather than new inflows.

XRP, Cardano (ADA), and Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced double-digit weekly losses as risk-off behavior prevailed in the broader crypto markets.

The report warned that September could mark a cyclical low point for altcoins before structural drivers reassert themselves in the fourth quarter.

Despite the mixed backdrop, whale accumulation in XRP persists during periods of price weakness. Additionally, analysts anticipate the approval of multiple altcoin ETFs in the US in October, including those for XRP.

The report added that even if the NEAR term turns out grim, current fundamental and technical indicators suggest a rally for XRP is likely in the coming weeks.
