Parabolic Uptrend Expected.
The longer this case drag on, the more ugly and illegitimacy SEC becomes
Despite the boring XRP price action in recent weeks, on-chain metrics indicate a bullish impulse could be on the horizon. The crypto asset is currently enjoying its second-biggest accumulation phase driven by the mega whales.
XRP Mega Whales Accumulated Nearly 900 Million Tokens
XRP whales have stuck to their guns with unrelenting accumulation.
Behavior analytics platform Santiment has observed that addresses that hold roughly 10 million XRP coins have been growing the size of their holdings significantly.
On-chain data shows that these addresses have added 897 million XRP tokens to their positions, worth over $690 million from December 2021 to today (Feb 18). Santiment noted that the accumulation witnessed within this period marks the second-biggest within the past five years. The biggest accumulation happened between November and December 2020 when whales acquired close to 1.3 billion XRP.
Notably, the increased buying pressure from whales seen behind XRP recently coincides with a considerable price bounce against bitcoin. The crypto token (XRP/BTC) rallied above 3,500 satoshis on November 1st-24th in 2020. Similarly, the XRP/USD pair spiked by over 245% to highs of $0.82 within the same time frame.
