- Whale transfers and short liquidations refer to growing upward pressure.
- Channel metrics diverge as user activity is weakening despite pricing.
Ripple recently moved 300 million XRP to an unknown portfolio, followed by 70 million additional tokens transferred between unidentified addresses.
These movements on the scale of whales, totaling $ 782 million, have sparked renewed attention across the market.
At the time of writing XRP WAA merchant at $ 2.20, marking a 2.98% increase in the last 24 hours.
These massive transfers often precede increased volatility or strategic accumulation, which makes it essential to monitor the monitoring of retail and institutional sales investors in future sessions.
Do XRP investors are quietly positioning themselves?
The chain exchange flow data at the time of the press showed $ 122.62 million at an entry against $ 116.44 million on outings, producing a modest positive net balance.

The XRP network / transaction (NVT) ratio fell by 57.13% in the last 24 hours, reaching 118.24.
A declining NVT ratio implies that the volume of transactions increases more quickly than market capitalization, signaling improved utility and a healthier network.
This decrease is aligned with the increase in the rotation of capital within the ecosystem, which suggests that XRP is increasingly sustained.
Go beyond fundamental principles or set up for a rebound?
Despite the price appreciation, the daily active addresses of XRP fell to 17.2k, while the number of transactions fell to 302k. This drop in user engagement raises concerns about the sustainability of current price levels.
As a rule, the price increase supported by a decrease in activity may indicate speculative momentum rather than organic growth.
Unless the network’s participation bounces, XRP may have trouble maintaining its upward trajectory on the mid-term horizon.

The long / short difference of the MVRV for XRP was seated at -24.72% at the time of the press, which indicates that long -term holders were deep in unrealized losses.

Hard pressure rises
The uncovered sellers had to face liquidations worth 1.48 million dollars, considerably exceeding $ 364,000 long liquidations on May 8.
This imbalance indicates that the bears were caught off guard during the overvoltage of XRP prices, creating a short mini-tint.
The liquidation imbalance strengthens the bullish momentum, as forced buyouts of liquidated shorts add to the upward pressure of prices.
This evolution, if repeated, could speed up the rise of XRP to the next resistance zone.

Can XRP pierce?
The convergence of the activity of whales, short liquidations and improved evaluation measures suggest that XRP approached a critical inflection point.
Although the weakening of network activity can limit the term roughly, an escape greater than $ 2.40 could trigger a renewal of the bullish impetus.
The next few days will determine whether this configuration results in a sustained rally – or a failed break.
