XRP has reclaimed the $1.40 level after recovering sharply from recent lows, while large-holder activity and resistance near $1.50 remain in focus.
The token recently climbed from roughly $1.25 to $1.44 before pulling back toward the $1.37–$1.40 area. The recovery has left XRP close to an important technical resistance zone.
Short-term charts place resistance between $1.45 and $1.50. Above that area, traders are watching levels around $1.55–$1.58.
XRP Whales Accumulate $2.2 Billion
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez shared Santiment data on X showing that large XRP wallets accumulated about 1.54 billion tokens in 96 hours.
$2 BILLION IN XRP BOUGHT BY WHALES
Whale activity on the XRP network has surged over the past 96 hours.
Large holders appear to have accumulated roughly 1.54 billion $XRP, worth around $2.2 billion.

At recent prices, the purchases were worth roughly $2.2 billion. The tracked wallets increased their combined holdings to about 9.81 billion XRP.
The wallet data shows increased holdings among the monitored whale group but does not reveal why individual holders acquired the tokens.
Exchange activity is also elevated. CryptoQuant reported around 1.6 billion XRP in cumulative whale inflows to Binance over the previous 30 days.
That was the highest level since March. Exchange deposits can make tokens available for trading, although transfers to Binance do not confirm that holders intend to sell.
Analyst Dom said on X that XRP recently tested its three-month and six-month rolling VWAP levels as support for the first time in more than a year.
Dom said the immediate level that matters is $1.50, adding that turning it into support could open the way toward $1.80 or higher. He said XRP has remained below that level for around 230 days.
XRP Price Faces $1.50 Resistance
Another chart shared by Ali Martinez showed an inverse head-and-shoulders setup with a neckline near $1.55. Martinez said XRP was close to triggering a possible 35% move if that neckline breaks.
Analyst Crypto Patel presented a longer-term chart with resistance around $1.70 and $3. His broader technical targets extend from $10 to $18, but those levels depend on XRP first clearing nearer resistance.

Patel identified support around $1 and $0.60 on his longer-term setup. Shorter-term charts place closer support around $1.28.
A separate X update from BankXRP said the planned Volatility Shares 3x XRP ETF launch had been delayed until October 18 following a September 18 filing.
Moving-average data places XRP above its seven-day, 20-day, 50-day and 200-day averages, while RSI readings around the low-to-mid 50s remain close to neutral territory.
For the XRP price today, $1.45–$1.50 remains the immediate resistance zone, while $1.36–$1.39 is the first support area below the current market.
