XRP Under Pressure! $400 Million XRP Offloaded in Just 48 Hours

Jakarta, Pintu News – In just two days, the crypto market was rocked by a massive sell-off of XRP. Data from Santiment showed that whale wallets-which hold 1 to 10 million XRP-released nearly 200 million XRP, equivalent to around $400 million, within 48 hours. This pressure compounded the already negative sentiment surrounding the crypto market in general.

Significant Price Drop

XRP saw a drop of more than 10% in 24 hours, breaking the $2 psychological barrier and hitting a low around $1.85. The selling pressure from these whales comes as the crypto market is in extreme fear mode, characterized by:

• Fear & Greed index at 14 (extreme fear)
• Daily XRP sales volume hits $7.2 billion mark
• Price is below the daily 50 and 200 SMAs, signaling continued negative momentum

What’s the Cause?

In addition to the whale action, external factors also aggravated the situation:

• Bitcoin drops below $85,000
• Ethereum also falls below $3,000
• Weak US economic data → reduced expectations of interest rate cuts by the Fed

This has reduced investor interest in risky assets such as cryptocurrencies.

Where is XRP headed next?

Analyst estimates:

• If XRP fails to break back through resistance at $2.30, a further drop to around $1.50 is potential
• If the selling pressure subsides, the price may stabilize and try to return to the upper $2.
• Short-term projection: $2.50 – $2.70 range if there is a strong recovery
• End of 2025 projection: $1.96 – $2.27, depending on regulation and potential XRP ETFs
