XRP is facing many difficulties in maintaining its bounce back in recent days, as the price continuously fails to break through important resistance levels. However, a shift in investor behavior is gradually emerging.
Large investors are increasing their holdings, reflecting a growing confidence that the current price is an attractive opportunity to enter the market.
The trust of XRP holders is increasingly being strengthened
On-chain data shows a significant increase in accumulation activity by whales. In the past 48 hours, addresses holding between 100 million XRP and 1 billion XRP have added approximately 330 million XRP to their portfolios.
The total accumulated value has reached approximately 642 million USD, indicating a strong resurgence in demand from institutional investors.
This move indicates that whales are taking advantage of the low price phase to increase their positions, rather than retreating from the market. Accumulation during the consolidation phase often reflects expectations of a strong bounce back in the future.
This level of demand acts as a structural support, helping to mitigate the risk of price decline and increasing the likelihood of a sustainable bounce back.

The “liveliness” index has decreased over the past week, indicating that the movement of XRP in the market is slowing down. This reflects that long-term holders are shifting from a selling state to holding.
A low liveliness index is often a sign of accumulation or holding. In fact, the suspension of selling by long-term holders can also contribute to price stability.

The Breakthrough Prospects of XRP Price
Currently, XRP is trading around 1.94 USD, just below a downward trend that has persisted for the past month, which has limited the price increase. The immediate bounce back target is the level of 2.02 USD. If this mark is surpassed, the upward trend will be reinforced and market momentum will improve significantly.
The accumulation activity of whales, along with the decreasing long-term selling pressure, is creating favorable conditions for a bullish scenario. If these factors continue to persist, XRP has the potential to surpass the 2.02 USD threshold and move towards the 2.20 USD mark, marking a clear breakout from the current downtrend.

If the upward momentum is not maintained, XRP could bounce back to the $1.85 region. In the event that selling pressure continues to increase, the support level of $1.79 will be tested. If this level is breached, the bullish thesis will be invalidated and the short-term downside risk will become more apparent.

XRP is under enormous bearish pressure, with $3.0 billion in liquidations imminent—can a breakout by bulls trigger a massive surge?
XRP’s recent price fluctuations are in the $1.339 to $1.35 range, boosted by the U.S.-Iran ceasefire talks. It rose about 3% in a single day. The key resistance zone is $1.34 to $1.355; analysts say that only by breaking through this area can investors focus on higher targets. Downside support sits at $1.31 to $1.32, and if it breaks below, it could return to the consolidation range. The market is waiting for U.S. economic data, so the near-term dynamics are worth watching.

XRP Critical Three Weeks: U.S. Senate Legislative Progress Could Decide Whether to Break Above $1.60 or Fall Below $1.20
As the XRP price enters a key policy window, the progress of the U.S. Senate's “CLARITY Act” over the next three weeks will affect its 2026 outlook. XRP is currently trading at about $1.34; if the bill passes smoothly, it could bring in $4.0 billion to $8.0 billion in capital inflows, driving the price higher. Otherwise, it will depend on the broader macro environment and could fall to below $1.20. Policy progress is the dominant factor right now, and April will become a crucial turning point.

Grayscale: Quantum computing or early breakthroughs are accelerating—preparing for post-quantum encryption is urgent.
Grayscale research director said that technical breakthroughs in quantum computing could introduce uncertainty, so public blockchains need to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum cryptography. A Google paper highlights the time sensitivity of quantum risk, specifically noting that if quantum computers reach a certain number of logical qubits, they will threaten existing encryption systems. Solana and the XRP Ledger have already begun experimental deployments of post-quantum cryptography technology. While Bitcoin has lower technical risk, challenges still exist at the governance level.
