Ripple’s XRP is testing investor patience again — but big holders aren’t flinching. Despite underperforming its top altcoin peers in Q3, whales appear to be quietly building positions that could set the stage for a stronger Q4 recovery.
Whales Accumulate as XRP Finds Its Floor
While XRP posted just a 27% return in Q3 — trailing behind Dogecoin’s 41% — on-chain data shows that large holders are doubling down. Wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP accumulated roughly 300 million tokens in October, boosting their total stash to 9.48 billion XRP.
This heavy buying coincided with a small market dip to the $2.80 range, where nearly 2 billion XRP sit concentrated, forming one of the strongest support zones on the chart. This dense buying region suggests investors view this level as a clear entry point before a potential rebound.
Technical Setup Hints at a Stronger Q4
Ripple’s daily chart paints a notably more stable picture than most large-cap altcoins. While Ethereum and others broke key support levels in September, XRP’s $2.80 floor has held firm for months, validating it three times since July. Historically, such consolidations have preceded major upward runs once momentum flips risk-on.
The recent 7% bounce above $3 also appears to have been triggered by a supply squeeze as new accumulation soaked up available liquidity. The next resistance zone is around $3.50, a level that could confirm bullish momentum if breached.

Smart Money Eyes Ripple’s Next Move
With whale buying intensifying and HODLers refusing to budge, sentiment is turning cautiously optimistic. Analysts suggest this setup mirrors XRP’s June–July phase, which preceded a 75% rally. If historical patterns repeat, Ripple may be gearing up for a strong finish to 2025.
Ripple’s price action may not be thrilling retail traders yet, but whales seem to be quietly front-running a bigger play. With a solid base, clear support, and growing on-chain confidence, XRP’s Q4 could turn from lagging to leading — if momentum carries past $3.50.
