XRP Enters Danger Zone where Bulls Face Make-or-Break Battle at $2.30

Price pressure on XRP (XRP-USD) builds as whales quietly accumulate, institutions pour in, and $3 sits just one breakout away. XRP is hovering near resistance, but more so it’s standing on a trigger.

XRP’s price is grinding against the $2.20–$2.30 zone. This is a technical situation, actually id say a noisy technical situation. It’s a level that may decide whether XRP rockets toward $3+ or gets slammed back into the low $2s.

Analysts are calling this the high-confluence zone where volume, trendlines, and whale activity all collide. And for bulls, it’s either now, or not for a long while.

Institutions Load Up XRP

Retail traders are hesitating, mainly because smart money is getting louder in the data.

XRP investment products saw $10.6 million in inflows last week alone, and a massive $219 million YTD, according to CoinShares. That’s more than Solana, and not far off Ethereum. It’s clear that in the last 2 years, institutions have been loading up.

On top of this, the whales have been accumulating aggressively even through price dips. Wallets holding between 1M–10M XRP have increased holdings by 65% since November 2024, now controlling nearly 10% of total supply.

That level of accumulation during a 35% drawdown signals confidence, not fear. It shows big players are betting on a much higher XRP and positioning early, before the breakout narrative takes hold.

Support Zones Below $2.00 Are Dangerous

But bulls aren’t in the clear yet. If XRP fails to flip this resistance soon, sellers could regain momentum. A breakdown below $2.15 could quickly pull price back to $2.00, a major psychological level — and beneath that, $1.95 to $1.90, which marked the June low after geopolitical tension spiked.

It’s a steep fall from where XRP stands now, which is exactly why this moment matters.

At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $2.215.
