$1.5 Million Bitcoin? Ark’s Cathie Wood Sees Gold’s Market Share Slipping

XRP is now trading above the $2.35 mark, gaining momentum as bulls aim to 
break through critical resistance on the way to a potential all-time high. 
This move comes as the broader crypto market enters a new bullish phase, with 
Bitcoin soaring past $100K and Ethereum reclaiming the $2,200 zone in a sharp 
rally. XRP, long viewed as lagging behind majors, now shows notable relative 
strength compared to other altcoins. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Entry 
Prices Diverge Sharply – Confidence Builds At Higher Levels Analysts are 
turning their focus to XRP as it attempts to sustain this breakout, with some 
calling for a rally that could finally close the gap toward previous cycle 
highs. Supporting the bullish case is new on-chain data from Santiment, 
revealing that XRP whales have returned aggressively, accumulating over 880 
million tokens in the past month alone. This surge in accumulation by large 
holders suggests growing confidence in XRP’s trajectory and is often a signal 
that smart money is positioning early ahead of a major move. If current 
momentum holds and XRP clears its immediate resistance levels, it could be set 
for a powerful continuation. All eyes are now on the $2.50–$2.80 range, where 
market dynamics could accelerate rapidly. XRP Builds Strength As Whales 
Accumulate And Momentum Rises XRP is now standing out as one of the most 
resilient assets in the crypto market, showing notable strength during recent 
uptrends and consistent support through broader market corrections. Currently 
trading above the $2.00 level, XRP is positioned at a critical point where 
bullish and bearish forces are clashing. The broader market is also heating 
up, with Bitcoin trading above $100K and Ethereum holding the $2,200 zone 
after a breakout. XRP’s relative strength, however, is what’s catching the 
attention of analysts and traders. According to top analyst Ali Martinez, on- 
chain data reveals that whales have accumulated over 880 million XRP tokens in 
the past month. This level of accumulation is typically a bullish signal and 
suggests that large players are positioning themselves ahead of a possible 
rally. Still, macroeconomic uncertainty lingers in the background. With 
ongoing trade tensions between the US and China and an increasingly sensitive 
global financial environment, investor sentiment remains fragile. If Bitcoin 
holds its ground and altcoin momentum persists, XRP could be one of the top 
beneficiaries. As XRP continues to trade near a pivotal range, the coming days 
will be essential in determining the next phase. A decisive move above $2.35 
could open the door to a strong upward expansion, while holding support above 
$2.00 will be crucial to prevent a retracement. Backed by whale activity and 
growing interest from traders, XRP is once again on the radar as a potential 
leader in the next leg of the crypto bull cycle. Related Reading: Ethereum 
Breaks Key Resistance In One Massive Move – Higher High Confirms Momentum 
Price Tests Breakout Zone As It Pushes Above Resistance XRP is showing 
promising momentum after breaking above the $2.35 level and now trades at 
$2.36, signaling renewed bullish strength. This move comes as XRP tests the 
upper range of a consolidation structure that has been forming since late 
March. The price action is supported by a consistent uptrend of higher lows, 
which is now pressing against long-standing resistance. The 200-day SMA 
($2.10) and EMA ($2.00) both remain below the current price, reinforcing the 
strength of the ongoing trend. Volume has increased notably over the past few 
sessions, a sign that buyers are stepping in with confidence. A decisive daily 
close above $2.38–$2.40 would confirm a breakout and open the path toward 
retesting the previous highs around $3.00 and potentially new all-time highs. 
Conversely, a rejection here could lead to another retest of the ascending 
trendline around $2.15. Related Reading: Ethereum ‘Extremely Undervalued 
Against BTC’ – Supply Pressure May Delay Recovery The confluence of price 
structure, moving average support, and whale accumulation adds conviction to 
the breakout scenario. If current levels hold, XRP could become one of the
