Large wallet accumulation is what’s been driving the latest XRP’s price surge.

Data from CryptoQuant shows that XRP experienced a long period of low activity and stable prices between mid-2022 and early 2024. During this time, XRP’s price and the number of active accounts remained relatively flat.
However, the trend started to change in mid-2024 as XRP’s price began to climb. By late 2024, XRP saw a spike in activity, with the price hitting $2.60 by early 2025. This surge coincided with a rise in active accounts, indicating greater investor participation.
Technical analysis supports XRP’s bullish trend. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 74.18, exceeding the overbought level of 70. While this suggests that XRP may be overbought in the short term, it doesn’t necessarily indicate an upcoming reversal. The RSI can stay positive for extended periods during strong bullish trends.
The MACD indicator confirms this positive short-term momentum. With a value of 0.0727, the MACD is in bullish territory. The MACD line is above the signal line, and the histogram is rising, indicating sustained buying pressure and upward momentum.
