Interactive Brokers rolls out crypto trading for retail clients in Europe

XRP is struggling to hold $1.35. The market is preparing for further downside. 
And beneath the price action, a quietly growing group of investors appears to 
have reached a different conclusion. Related Reading: Binance Inflows Suggest 
Money Is Starting to Move Back Into Crypto – Find Out What Changed Data 
published by analyst Darkfost identifies a behavioral divergence that the spot 
chart does not reflect. Despite one of the most hostile environments for 
altcoins in recent memory, XRP has maintained a well-defined range between 
$1.30 and $1.50 for several months — a degree of structural resilience that 
stands out against a broader altcoin market where more than 40% of assets have 
reached or approached all-time lows. The price tells one story. The on-chain 
data tells another. Since the end of February, Binance has recorded a clear 
resurgence in XRP activity — a pattern that Darkfost identifies as consistent 
with gradual accumulation rather than distribution. Investors are not selling 
into this range. A growing number of them are using it. XRP is still trading 
more than 60% below its last all-time high. That fact is not in dispute. What 
is in dispute is whether the current price represents a continuation of the 
decline or the quiet formation of a base that the broader market has not yet 
recognized. The data is beginning to suggest the latter. The price has not 
confirmed it yet. The Coins Are Leaving. The Question Is Where They Are Going 
and Why. Darkfost&#8217;s on-chain breakdown gives the accumulation signal its 
clearest form. Since the end of February, outflow transactions on Binance have 
surged — multiple days recording more than 4,000 transactions, with single-day 
peaks approaching 6,000. These are not large institutional movements happening 
out of sight. They are a high volume of individual withdrawal events, 
happening repeatedly, in the same direction, over an extended period. The 
transaction size profile is what makes the signal credible rather than 
coincidental. The activity is concentrated in the 1,000 to 100,000 XRP range — 
the bracket that corresponds to mid-sized investors rather than whales 
executing strategy or institutions rebalancing portfolios. Related Reading: 
XRP Holders Are Pulling Coins Off Exchanges – History Points To A Strong Move 
This is retail and semi-institutional capital making a deliberate decision: 
withdrawing XRP from the exchange, moving it into private custody, and 
removing it from the available sell-side pool. That behavior, repeated across 
thousands of transactions, is the definition of a gradual accumulation phase. 
Darkfost frames the forward question with appropriate precision. The 
accumulation is real and measurable. Whether it is sufficient to break XRP out 
of the $1.30–$1.50 range — and reignite a bullish trend that the broader 
altcoin market has failed to deliver this cycle — depends on whether this 
quiet buying pressure eventually overwhelms the overhead resistance that has 
capped every rally attempt since February. The base may be forming. The 
breakout has not arrived. XRP Holds Key Support as Downtrend Loses Momentum 
XRP is currently trading around the $1.30–$1.35 range, stabilizing after an 
extended downtrend that began near the $2.40 region earlier this year. The 
chart shows a clear sequence of lower highs and lower lows, confirming a 
persistent bearish structure over the past months. However, recent price 
action suggests a potential shift in momentum. Since the sharp selloff in 
February, XRP has entered a tight consolidation range, repeatedly finding 
support near the $1.25–$1.30 zone. This level has now been tested multiple 
times without a decisive breakdown, indicating that buyers are actively 
absorbing selling pressure. Related Reading: Crypto Market Open Interest Hits 
$30 Billion, Highest Since January: Leverage Returns To The Market From a 
trend perspective, XRP remains below the 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving 
averages, all of which are sloping downward. This reinforces that the broader 
trend is still bearish, and any short-term strength remains corrective rather 
than structural. Attempts to push higher have been limited. The rejection near 
the $1.50 level confirms it as a key resistance, capping upside momentum in 
the current range. Volume patterns add context. The largest spikes occurred 
during capitulation phases, while recent activity has normalized, suggesting 
reduced panic selling. Structurally, XRP is compressing. A break above $1.50 
would signal recovery, while losing $1.25 could trigger another leg lower.
