What to know:
- XRP is in a cycle-based accumulation phase, where consolidation often precedes bullish expansion moves.
- Analysts project XRP could target $5.70 to $8.00, based on past cycle expansions of 120% to 265% upside.
- Increasing whale accumulation and long positions in XRP derivatives signal growing confidence from large holders.

XRP is in a cycle-based accumulation phase where price typically consolidates before stronger expansion. Increasing whale accumulation and rising long positions in derivatives indicate growing confidence among large holders and suggest the potential for a stronger bullish move for the XRP price if momentum continues.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.14 with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.45 billion and a market capitalization of $70.99 billion. Following the 6.02% gain over the last 24 hours, the XRP price structure and improving whale movement point to a bullish reversal ahead.

XRP Price Struture Targets a Strong Move to $8
According to the crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO, the XRP price is analyzed through a long-term cycle framework built around its “Central Line,” a macro equilibrium level that separates accumulation from expansion phases.
If the XRP price trades below this line, markets typically reflect uncertainty and accumulation behavior, while sustained moves above it indicate the beginning of stronger bullish expansion cycles. This structure-based model treats price action as repetitive and cyclical rather than random or purely sentiment-driven.

The history of the XRP price reveals past growth cycles ranging from 200% to 330% beyond the central line. These can be averaged to project 265% growth, resulting in a target value of about $8.00.
This can be seen as the best case, and the worst case is when there is a weak cycle that results in just 120% growth for a target value of $5.70.
The model suggests that the XRP price is still in the early stage and is characterized by accumulation prior to its expansion.
The model emphasizes that buying should be done at the lower areas of the channel and looking out for the retrace of the center line. It also advocates for taking profits on upward trends.
XRP Whale Activity Surges as Long Positions Strengthen
Moreover, another crypto analyst, CW, further highlighted that there appears to be an increasing separation between the XRP whales and regular retail participants occurring at a consistent rate, suggesting an increasing disparity between the activities of heavy hitters versus those of the regular participants.
This trend sees the heavier wallets gaining strength through the process of increasing exposure via long positions.

On the other hand, the count of long positions held in XRP derivatives by whales continues to rise, reflecting the assumption that whales are getting more and more inclined to take bullish positions.
This increasing concentration of long positions shows the increasing dominance of whales in the market, although experts warn that changes in macroeconomic factors might reverse the trend anytime soon.
