The current whale accumulation of XRP aligns with recent price increases, hinting at bullish trends ahead. Such significant purchases by whales can influence market sentiment and attract additional investment.
In contrast, analyst Armando Pantoja has forecasted an even higher target for XRP, suggesting it could reach $8. He noted that since June, investors have gathered approximately 250 million XRP tokens. Pantoja also highlighted resistance levels at $0.70 – $0.75 that could impact further gains.
Recent price activity, including a notable 40% weekly gain, has been partly fueled by speculation about a possible resolution to Ripple’s ongoing legal dispute with the SEC. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, has hinted at a potential settlement, which could significantly impact XRP’s future.
Solana (SOL) is approaching a critical technical level that could trigger a major breakout. According to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, a weekly close above $170 may ignite a new bull run and potentially open the door for a rally toward the $2,000 mark.
