Ripple’s XRP Breaks 2-Week High: Here’s Santiment’s Ideal Buy and Sell Timing

XRP is currently the best performer among the 10 largest cryptocurrencies.

Ripple’s cross-border token has once again defied expectations, rising another 4% over a relatively quiet weekend and rising above $2.6 for the first time in weeks.

Popular analytics platform Santiment highlighted the price increase, which follows social media rumors of a substantial whale sell-off.

📈 XRP is at ~$2.60 after a +4% day. We’ve seen some retail FUD on social media, indicating that small wallets are on sale. During this $2-$3 price period, there were high expectations from the public $XRP below $2 is a buy signal and above $3 is a sell signal.

Selling XRP whales, what is the impact?

On two consecutive Fridays – October 10 and 17 – XRP, along with the rest of the market, fell hard. On some exchanges, Ripple’s token fell below $1, a level not seen in about a year. Analysts tried to explain this massive deficit, with many citing on-chain data to indicate that whales had reduced their XRP holdings by selling off massive amounts.

Similar reports continued over the following weeks, with almost every XRP correction attributed to major investor exits. More recently, data from Ali Martinez showed that whales had discarded another 70 million tokens in just 48 hours.

Nevertheless, Santiment called this an FUD on social media, which hasn’t stopped the underlying asset from making some impressive gains over the past week as it is up 13% since last Sunday.

When to buy or sell?

Santiment has long been a proponent of Warren Buffett’s narrative that people should buy when others are fearful and sell when they are greedy. Consequently, the analysis source indicated that investors should look for an XRP entry when the public starts speculating about a possible drop below $2.

In contrast, they may want to look for a reduction in investment when public expectations take a 180-degree turn and they start to imagine a huge rise above $3. The above image from Santiment shows that the general belief is that XRP is now headed for a substantial correction.
