  • XRP hit a four-week high of $1.60 before pulling back to around $1.50–$1.52

  • Daily active addresses on XRPL reached a five-week high of 46,767

The XRP Ledger now has 7.7 million non-empty wallet addresses. That is the highest number in the network’s 13-year history, according to data from Santiment.

Daily active addresses on the XRP Ledger also hit a five-week high of 46,767. The jump in activity lined up with the price move toward $1.60.

Analysts at Santiment said this shows network usage is growing even during market downturns. They noted investors appear to be buying XRP during price dips.

XRP also overtook BNB in market cap this week. Its market cap climbed to around $92 billion, putting it in fourth place among all cryptocurrencies.

Whale Accumulation Returns

XRP whale buying turned positive in March for the first time since November 2025. Data from CryptoQuant shows the 30-day moving average of whale flow flipped positive, ending four months of net selling.

Long-term holders also showed a sharp increase in accumulation. On March 1, the net position change among long-term investors exceeded 351 million XRP. That was the strongest single-day buying since February 1.

Exchange balances have also been falling. XRP held on exchanges has dropped to levels last seen in May 2021, which typically suggests less selling pressure.

Key Price Levels to Watch

XRP has been stuck in the $1.50–$1.60 range for over six weeks. Analysts say the price needs to close above $1.60 to confirm a breakout.

Analyst CW8900 described the $1.50–$1.52 zone as a heavy “sell wall.” They added that a break above it would leave no major resistance until $1.95.

Analyst CryptoWZRD_ said holding above $1.51 could spark a quick rally toward the $2.00 level.

The $1.95 target aligns with the 200-day simple moving average and the measured target of a rounded bottom chart pattern.

If XRP fails to hold $1.50, the next support levels sit at $1.47 and $1.45. A deeper pullback could bring $1.40 back into view.

The bull-bear power indicator on Investing.com is currently in sell territory. Combined with rising trading volume, this points to a possible short-term slowdown.

XRP last reclaimed the $1.50–$1.60 zone in December 2024 and went on to rally 90% in under a week.
