What to know:

  • XRP is maintaining support above $2.34, with traders anticipating a breakout toward $2.65.
  • Analysts suggest a breakout could lead XRP to reach between $4 and $6.
  • Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD has surpassed a $500 million market cap, ranking among the top 20 globally.

XRP (XRP) is hovering above a key support at $2.34, and traders are betting on a breakout toward $2.65 in the coming weeks.

A move higher would mark the upper bound of a consolidation range that’s held since December 2024, a range that’s seen steady accumulation even as retail interest waned.

Arthur Azizov, founder of B2 Ventures, said the token is “likely to move towards a new local high around $2.65” if it continues to hold above current levels.

“Since XRP has been in accumulation for quite a long time, the outlook remains positive,” he said in a Thursday note to CoinDesk, noting that a clean breakout from the range could push the token toward the $4–$6 zone.

That view is echoed by other technical analysts, who flag multiple bullish formations — including a symmetrical triangle and bull flag — supporting the case for a $2.60–$2.65 retest. If broken, those levels could act as a springboard for a move toward multi-year highs.

Sentiment has been bolstered by growing open interest in XRP derivatives, tightening volatility bands, and apparent whale accumulation.

Meanwhile, Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD crossed a $500 million market cap on Wednesday, less than eight months after launch.

The dollar-backed token now ranks among the top 20 stablecoins globally, backed by custody from BNY Mellon and integrated across platforms like Transak and OpenPayd.

Small wallets have increased their BTC holdings by 2.5% since October's all-time high while large holders trimmed 0.8%, Santiment data shows.

What to know:

  • Bitcoin wallets holding less than 0.1 BTC have increased their share of supply to the highest since mid-2024 even as the price holds around the mid-$60,000s.
  • Larger holders with 10 to 10,000 bitcoins — the whales and sharks that typically drive major moves — have reduced their positions since the October peak.
  • The divergence supports choppy, fragile price action because retail demand alone cannot sustain rallies when big wallets are distributing into every recovery.
