XRP Price Defends $2.50 As Dormant Whale Deposits 2.65M XRP: Is $3.87 Next?

XRP price recovery teases a bull cycle within a broader pattern to reach the $3.87 mark for a potential breakout rally. 

With Bitcoin trading near the $89,000 mark, XRP has recorded a 24% surge in the past seven days. However, the XRP price trend has witnessed massive fluctuations along the way and is currently trading slightly above the $2.50 psychological mark. 

With a market cap of $146 billion, the XRP price has witnessed an intraday pullback of nearly 3%. However, the chances of a post-retest reversal tease a massive bull run in the XRP prices.

Crypto Whale Makes $56M in XRP Profits

Based on the data by Nansen.ai, a crypto whale has recently deposited 2.65 million XRP tokens. The valuation of the deposit is counted at $67.65 million and marks the first deposit of the whale after 2.3 years. 

With this deposit, the whale has marked a huge profit of $56.87 million. Initially, the whale accumulated 25.12 million XRP tokens worth $10.77 million from Binance. The buying spree expanded between April 22, 2022, and November 24, 2022. 

The average cost of the buying was $0.429. After the purchase, the whale added the XRP tokens to a liquidity pool with BNB. With investment into the liquidity pool, the whale earned an additional 1.38 million XRP tokens.

XRP Price Targets $3.87

As XRP hints at a post-latest reversal, the profit booking from a long-dormant crypto whale warns of a potential consolidation or a downfall. Nevertheless, the technical analysis hints at a bullish rally, potentially towards the $3.87 mark. 

This price projection comes from the trend-based Fibonacci levels, pending a crucial price target near the overhead resistance line. On the flip side, the crucial support for XRP remains at the $2.14 demand zone, followed by the $2.00 psychological mark.
