However, on the weekly chart, the Ripple crypto still remains down by 12% due to the heavy whale dumping over the last week. The overall sentiment around XRP seems to be waning despite some positive developments in the Ripple lawsuit.
XRP Price Action Going Ahead
Although today’s XRP price pump has gotten investors’ attention back, the bulls need to pull off more effort to continue with this rally ahead. For a long time, Ripple has been trading within the $2.03 to $2.27 range. It needs to break either below $2.03 support or above $2.27 resistance to determine the next big move.

XRP has been facing strong volatility recently amid broader crypto market turbulence and the Trump tariff war. The overall market remains jittery as the Tariff “Liberation Day” on April 2nd comes closer. Investors should remain cautious, considering the volatility that can come along with it.
Ripple Whales Show Uncertainty
Whale activity has played an important role in XRP price’s decline, with a large number of holders offloading a majority of their holdings. Addresses holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP coins have sold over 1.12 billion XRP, worth approximately $2.34 billion, in the past week, reducing their total holdings to 8.98 billion XRP.

This large-scale selling suggests a cautious stance among major investors. While whale sell-offs often signal market uncertainty, they can also trigger short-term price volatility. If this selling trend continues, XRP could face further bearish pressure in the near term.
If Ripple decides not to proceed with the cross-appeal in the XRP lawsuit, all eyes will be on the settlement in this case. Any positive development in April can trigger further price action ahead for XRP.
