Main to remember
Why is XRP up today?
Smart Money Whales added +300 million XRP to $ 2.80 to $ 2.82, triggering a pop of 7% and strengthening solid support areas.
What is the next step for Ripple?
Key resistance is $ 3.50 at $ 3.60; With structural resilience, strategic accumulation and Hodler’s conviction, XRP could be positioned for a June-July rally 75% Q4.
Ripple (XRP) tests how strong his Hodlers are.
Technically, XRP wrapped the Q3 with the lowest king among the first 5 altcoins (at only 27%), while even Dogecoin (Doge) managed a pop of 41%. From a POV wallet, any reshuffle could endanger the fourth quarter of Ripple.
That said, smart money moves. The largest cohort of XRP whales (100 million to 1 billion) added + 300 million to their bags in October, bringing their total assets to 9.48 billion, supporting the jump of $ 2.8.

Meanwhile, the basic Cost-Basis thermal card of XRP supports these flows.
Chain data shows nearly 2 billion XRP stacked in the $ 2.80 strip to $ 2.82, making it the densest power cluster of the graph. This concentration signals strong support in this beach, creating a natural area of ”Buy Dip”.
In short, the 7% XRP rally is not random. That said, Ripple is still lagging behind his peers with great capitalization. According to Ambcrypto, a clean rupture above the levels of resistance of the keys will now be essential for XRP to maintain Fomo.
The technical edge of XRP is ready to shape its momentum from the fourth trimester
Ripple’s daily graphic shows this holding a clear technical advantage over its peers.
September was dominated by Fud. Ethereum (ETH), for example, broke the key support twice and retraced the levels at the beginning of August by about $ 4,100. XRP, however, has demonstrated structural resilience throughout.
The level of $ 2.80 held firm, marking the third validation of this support since mid-July. Historically, this scheme has acted as a springboard for races in small groups in risk conditions.

Smart money clearly makes this configuration align.
The recent stack of the synchronized whales with 1.16% XRP decreased to $ 2.80, and before a deeper correction could strike, a supply compression triggered a pop of 7% above $ 3. Naturally, the next keys is around $ 3.50.
However, with a strategic accumulation, a solid structural support and a strong hodler conviction, it seems that the whales are at the front a strong configuration of the fourth quarter, which potentially established a undulation for a 75%of June-July style rally.
