Optimism

Shiba Inu

XRP, one of the top cryptocurrencies by market cap, has continued to stir a whirlpool of speculations among crypto market enthusiasts globally. Despite optimism for a potential $1 run for the token prevailing within the market, XRP continues to bore the brunt of price fluctuations and increased selling pressure. 
Amid this attention-nabbing price flux, a renowned XRP whale has continued offloading significant amounts of coins to an exchange. On-chain data showcases nearly 28 million XRP on the move to a Luxembourg City-based CEX.

Notably, renowned crypto analysts have maintained a positive outlook on XRP’s potential to offer gains. They continue to express optimism about the token’s ability to surpass the $1 mark and potentially reach even more significant price levels. In fact, CoinGape Media reported yesterday that Egrag Crypto, a well-regarded analyst, envisions <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-to-top-1-2-ahead-analyst-claims-despite-sluggish-price-action/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP trading</a> within a price range of $1.2-$1.5 in the coming weeks. 
Moreover, Dark Defender, another crypto analyst, echoed this optimistic view, saying a break above the $0.64 mark paves the way for greater heights. Amid this optimistic wave set off by the analysts, the whale was recorded dumping 28.6 million XRP, worth 15.36 million, to Bitstamp. This, collectively, has birthed a torrent of inferences on XRP’s future price movements. 
Meanwhile, it’s worth mentioning that speculations of the whale, …Rzn, being a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://whale-alert.io/transaction/ripple/158ED125EECD2451DF3CC38E63BA15A780D183A66AC345E78ED2E4C2AB4E31C1" target="_blank">Ripple-linked wallet</a> prevail, primarily because the address started transacting significant amounts of XRP to the same CEX soon after Ripple’s strategic stake acquisition. Simultaneously, these transactions also cause an increased selling pressure effect on XRP, which could be among the factors driving its price volatility. Coinglass data showed that 24-hour liquidations totaled $812.57K, whereas the whale’s selloff undermined this value.

<h2 id="xrp-price-fluxes">XRP Price Fluxes</h2> 
As of writing, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP token’s price</a> traded at $0.5248, down 0.62% in the past 24 hours. The token’s chart shows a highly volatile movement, with trading sessions in both red and green territories. Its 24-hour lows and highs are $0.5216 and $0.5399, respectively. 
In the interim, Coinglass data illustrated heightened trading activity for XRP, with reduced investor interest, potentially due to speculative trading. XRP’s OI fell 0.16% to $613.23 million, whereas its derivatives volume rocketed 92.98% to $983.60 million. This could be further driving the token’s current turbulent price action. 
Besides, the RSI surfaced at around 49, hinting at a neutral market stance for the asset. Collectively, market statistics paint an uncertain scenario of the Ripple-backed asset’s future price movements, although the analysts-birthed optimism on the token’s bull run ahead persists. 
It’s also worth noting that with the FIT21 crypto bill gaining traction amid the <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-price-whale-moves-32m-coins-judge-torres-decision-looms-what-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ripple vs SEC lawsuit</a>, an additional layer of intrigue engulfs crypto market participants, speculating over the token’s price movements ahead.
