$XRP accumulate strength under USD $1,60 resistance, and investors are watching Ripple’s unlock
#xrp trades near USD $1,51 after gaining 2% over the past 24 hours, with trading volume 20% above its 30-day average. Whale accumulation, institutional buying via an ETF, and a recently bullish MACD fuel a constructive outlook, even as resistance at USD $1,60, Ripple’s scheduled monthly unlock on October 1, and Evernorth’s vote pose risks that investors can’t ignore.
XRP ETFs have accumulated 1.180 billion tokens ahead of Ripple’s monthly unlock, suggesting asset managers are absorbing supply in advance—an approach that implies expectations of a post-event revaluation.
XRP keeps its core utility as a liquidity asset for cross-border payments within the Ripple ecosystem, and the demand visible today isn’t driven by retail speculation; rather, it comes from regulated vehicles: the ETFs holding 1.180 billion tokens in custody represent a structural demand base that doesn’t disappear with day-to-day volatility.
Recommendation: HOLD, with staggered buys only on pullbacks. Methodology applied across five signals:
(1) trend, favorable, with price above the SMA-15, SMA-30, SMA-50, SMA-90, and SMA-200;
(2) momentum, favorable, with MACD just crossing upward and RSI at 56.2 with room;
(3) volume, favorable, with 4.43 MMD—20% above average;
(4) resistance structure, neutral, since USD $1,60 continues to cap the price despite whale accumulation;
(5) supply risk, unfavorable, due to Ripple’s monthly unlock and the Evernorth risk. Result: 3 out of 5 signals are in favor.
Short term: trade the USD $1,47–1,55 range. Enter on a pullback to USD $1,47–1,48, set a stop-loss below USD $1,45, and take profit at USD $1,55.
XRP shows a medium-term bullish trend setup with short-term momentum just activated and verifiable institutional demand.
