$XRP Market Update: The $1.28 Line That Could Define the Next Move
XRP is trading at $1.32**, clawing back **1.6%** in 24 hours after touching **$1.26 intraday. The token sits below a wall of moving averages—$1.35 (EMA 12), $1.40 (SMA 20), and $1.41 (SMA 50)—but the **$1.28 level** is the one that matters. That's where the 200-day SMA converges with structural support, creating the most significant floor in the current setup.
The Bullish Undercurrent: Retail and whale positioning are screaming bullish. Binance's global long/short ratio sits at 2.80 (73.7% long), with top traders even more skewed at 77.4% long. Whale accounts on Binance hit a long/short ratio of 3.30—"extreme bullish" territory. Analyst Ali Martinez flags $1.25** as a potential bottom, citing XRPL transaction volume exploding to **$49.7 billion.
The Caveat: ETF inflows snapped a 13-week streak with $1.84M in outflows, and whale deposits to Binance hit a seven-month high of 1.67B XRP. Momentum is paused, not reversed—RSI at 38.9, MACD histogram flat at zero.
Binance Trade Setup: A cautious long if XRP reclaims $1.35** with volume, targeting **$1.40–$1.45**, stop below **$1.28. The risk/reward at this floor is compelling—but wait for confirmation. DYOR.
