- XRP flashed a TD Sequential buy signal and triangle pattern, suggesting a potential 14% move after breakout.
- Whale activity fell 57%, with large holders selling 60 million XRP despite emerging technical bullish signals.
- XRP holders grew to 7.91 million, while $1.14 remains key support and $1.28 marks major resistance.
As per analyst Ali Charts XRP has flashed a new TD Sequential buy signal and a symmetrical triangle formation. The update comes as XRP trades near $1.18 to $1.20, while Santiment data showed weakening price momentum, declining trading activity, and continued growth in the network’s holder count.
Technical Signals Point To Possible Rebound
According to Ali Charts, XRP has formed a symmetrical triangle pattern that could lead to a 14% price move following a breakout. At the same time, the analyst noted that the TD Sequential indicator flashed a buy signal on the three-day chart.
Ali Charts said similar high-timeframe signals have historically preceded rebounds lasting between one and four candlesticks. However, the analyst also warned that the signal may offer only temporary relief from recent market compression. That observation shifts attention to broader on-chain activity.
Whale Activity Tells A Different Story
While technical indicators improved, large holders appeared to move in the opposite direction. According to Ali Charts, overall whale activity on the XRP network has dropped by 57.3%.
Meanwhile, the whales that remain active have continued reducing exposure. The analyst reported that large holders distributed approximately 60 million XRP during the past week. Instead of absorbing available supply, those entities have been selling into the market.
Ali Charts added that a more attractive accumulation zone is near $0.90. According to the analyst, that level aligns with a rising trendline that has acted as support for roughly eight years.
Holder Growth Continues Despite Weak Price Trend
Meanwhile, Santiment data showed a notable divergence between price performance and network expansion. XRP climbed to nearly $2.40 in early January 2026 before heavy selling pressure pushed prices lower through February.
A major volume spike appeared around February 8 as XRP fell toward $1.20, reflecting significant market repositioning. Despite that decline, the number of XRP holders increased steadily from approximately 7.35 million to 7.91 million over six months.
Santiment reported that the 50-day moving average is near $1.14, while the 200-day moving average remains around $1.28. XRP continues trading below the longer-term average, while trading volumes have gradually declined since February. Santiment identified $1.14 as immediate support and $1.28 as the first major resistance level.
