XRP gained 8.22% in three days after whale accumulation exceeded $2 billion, according to analyst Ali Charts. The rally has pushed the token toward the $1.55–$1.60 resistance zone, where about 2.50 billion XRP previously changed hands, according to URPD data.

XRP's relative strength index (RSI) reached 73.81 while the MACD remained positive, keeping momentum elevated as traders watch resistance near $1.60. Chart data shows strong momentum overall, although the RSI has moved above the overbought threshold. Analyst Javon Marks, meanwhile, has identified a substantially higher measured target for the token.

Whale Buying Lifts XRP Toward $1.60

Ali Charts said recent whale accumulation is now visible in XRP's price action. In a post on X, the analyst noted that the token gained 8.22% over three days following purchases exceeding $2 billion. Whale flows of this size are among the most closely watched data points in crypto markets, with traders tracking large-holder activity to gauge where substantial buying is taking place.

Ali Charts also pointed to XRP's URPD data, which shows relatively little resistance before $1.60 — the level at which about 2.50 billion XRP previously changed hands. URPD, which maps the volume of tokens that last changed hands at each price level, is commonly used to identify zones where holder positions are clustered. The analyst identified that zone as the next major area for potential profit-taking in the current advance.

Meanwhile, Javon Marks said XRP continues pushing higher after a smaller breakout, describing that break as the starting point of a larger continuation move. Marks placed the measured move target above $15, more than 850% above the current level. Measured move targets are technical analysis projections that extend the size of an earlier price swing.

XRP Breaks Above $1.50

The four-hour chart on TradingView shows XRP at $1.5365, up 1.18% on the latest candle. The candle opened at $1.5187, reached a high of $1.5545 and fell to $1.5140.

Since the September 16 low near $1.27–$1.30, XRP has formed a series of higher lows. The token then moved above $1.40 before breaking through $1.50, a move that has brought the price closer to the $1.55–$1.60 resistance region. According to the chart, the area previously served as an important trading zone.

RSI Rises While MACD Stays Positive

Momentum indicators remain elevated alongside the price move. The RSI, which measures the pace of price changes on a scale from 0 to 100, stands at 73.81, above its 65.52 moving average and beyond the 70 overbought threshold. The elevated reading leaves room for short-term consolidation or a pullback, though the RSI holding above its moving average keeps momentum on the buying side.

The MACD also remains positive. Its line sits at 0.0426, above the 0.0329 signal line, while the histogram reads 0.0097.

Immediate resistance sits at $1.55–$1.60. A break above $1.60 would expose $1.65, while support is located at $1.50, $1.40 and about $1.30, based on the chart.
