πŸ“‰πŸ‹ $XRP Price Could Drop 20% Before Next Rally

πŸ“Š XRP is still up 26% this week, trading at $2.93 after hitting $3.01. But on-chain data hints at a short-term correction. Rising whale activity and exchange reserves resemble past local tops β€” where 20% dips followed.

🏦 Exchange reserves hit 2.96B XRP on Binance β€” the highest since Jan 2025. The last similar spike (May) led to a 20% drop from $2.54 to $2.01. More tokens on exchanges = increased selling risk.

🐳 Whale transfers >$1M just hit a 3-month high, often a signal of distribution. These spikes have historically come before price corrections, as large holders sell into strength.

πŸ“‰ A correction to $2.34 is likely, aligning with the 0.618 Fib level from the $1.90–$3.03 move. This zone acted as a key pullback target in previous cycles.

πŸ›‘οΈ Short-term supports are $2.80 and $2.77 β€” a drop below these levels could confirm deeper downside. But if XRP holds and exchange reserves decline, bulls may reclaim momentum.

πŸš€ In that case, XRP could retest the $3.03 high β€” but for now, caution is warranted.
