The XRP price analysis right now feels like a classic case of hype meeting reality and losing. After briefly flirting with $1.38 on April 8, XRP got slapped right back down to $1.33, as if the market collectively decided the so-called “ceasefire rally” wasn’t worth the follow-through. Turns out, a headline-driven pump without real volume …

Crypto analyst Cupra has revealed that Bitcoin has printed a historical aggressive recovery setup, signaling that a rally to the upside may be on the horizon. The analyst predicted that BTC could rally to a new all-time high (ATH) of $150,000 as the next bull phase approaches. Bitcoin Prints One of the Most Aggressive Setups In Years In an X post, Cupra stated that Bitcoin has just printed one of the most aggressive recovery setups that the market has seen in years. He noted that such a setup played out in 2019 after months of “pain,” which then led to a 282% explosive move for BTC. Now, the same structure is playing out, with the analyst noting a similar reset but with even more liquidity. Related Reading: Bitcoin Just Deviated From The Bearish Trend That Began In January And $86,000 Could Be Next Cupra noted that this is not a coincidence, as this is how the bull run starts, with sentiment destroyed while liquidity builds and smart money begins to position. He added that the market is about to shock everyone and that a Bitcoin rally to $150,000 is not a “meme” but the next phase. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could also rally to a cycle peak of $420,000. In another X post, the analyst doubled down on his assertion that Bitcoin could soon see a parabolic reversal to the upside. He noted that 35 bars are up while 12 bars are down, which is the “perfect cycle structure.”Cupra added that every time this happens, a massive expansion follows. Cupra also revealed that Bitcoin has just completed the 12-bar reset and that this is the launch zone. In line with this, he declared that the next leg will be violent and won’t be a “normal pump.” The analyst added that the parabolic phase is starting now. BTC Still At Risk Of A Decline Crypto analyst Colin has predicted that Bitcoin remains at risk of a decline despite claims that the leading crypto has formed a bottom. He highlighted a bear flag on his chart, suggesting BTC could rally above $77,000 in the short term following the 2-week ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran. However, the leading crypto is likely to continue its downward momentum after this relief bounce.

XRP whales are aggressively accumulating while the asset’s recent price action keeps many retail participants cautious. This raises a key question for investors: are large holders positioning ahead of something the average trader has not yet recognized? XRP Whales Accumulate At Key Levels While Retail Hesitates While XRP has dropped 3.5% in the past 24 hours, on-chain metrics indicate that XRP whales have dramatically shifted their positioning in recent weeks. Data from the analytics platform CryptoQuant shows that the Whale Flow 30-day moving average (30DMA) has turned positive after spending more than three months in negative territory, signaling a transition from distribution to accumulation. Related Reading: Analyst Who Called Bitcoin Price Crash Above $100,000 Predicts Crash To $29,000 This shift has pushed whale buying activity to its highest level in roughly ten months, highlighting a sharp change in behavior among large investors. Moreover, major holders have been purchasing more than 11 million XRP every day, a pace of accumulation that has not been observed since earlier stages of previous market expansions. The timing of this accumulation is notable because it coincides with XRP defending a key technical support zone. Market data shows the asset recently rebounded after touching the $1.28 level, bringing its current value to $1.33. Traders are closely watching this behavior, considering whether the combination of strong whale buying and support defense could set the stage for a potential breakout. Another signal reinforcing the accumulation narrative is the steady movement of tokens away from trading platforms. Exchange outflows for XRP have increased, sending a larger portion of the supply into private wallets. With fewer coins available for immediate sale, short-term selling pressure eases, amplifying the impact of growing demand and highlighting the deliberate positioning of large holders. Event-Driven Momentum: Why Whales Are Watching Japan Closely The timing of this accumulation aligns closely with a major XRP Ledger-focused event taking place in Japan this week. The conference is expected to feature Ripple executives and focus on institutional adoption, decentralized finance, and broader ecosystem development. Japan holds strategic importance for XRP due to its deep ties with SBI Holdings and its established role in Ripple’s global expansion. This regional strength adds weight to the significance of the event, making it more than just a routine industry gathering. Market participants are closely watching how the XRP price reacts around this event. Related Reading: Ripple Makes A $13 Trillion Bet With This Move, And XRP Price Could Be Set To Explode The combination of large-scale buying, reduced circulating supply, and the upcoming institutional-focused conference underscores a clear pattern. While retail participants often respond to short-term uncertainty with hesitation or panic, whales are coordinating their activity with events that could influence adoption and ecosystem growth. Ultimately, the difference between panic-driven retail behavior and disciplined whale accumulation illustrates that these large holders are acting not out of impulse, but based on insight and timing. Their moves suggest they see opportunities that others may overlook, emphasizing strategy and preparation. Whales may not have secret knowledge, but they clearly understand how to act decisively when the rest of the market hesitates. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
