Citing data from Santiment, popular analyst Ali Martinez noted on Saturday that Ripple whales have gone on a spectacular accumulation spree in the past four days, acquiring over 1.5 billion tokens.<\/p>\n

These key market participants, whose actions are typically mimicked by retail investors, have accumulated approximately 1.54 billion XRP in about 96 hours. At current prices, this stash is worth around $2 billion. The timing of the buying spree was quite intriguing, as it began with the CLARITY Act setback<\/a> in the US Senate, which pushed<\/a> the token\u2019s price down sharply.<\/p>\n However, accumulating over 1.5 billion tokens in such a short time has helped the asset recover, which is among the reasons XRP surged to over $1.45 on Friday and Saturday after it had bottomed at $1.27 on Tuesday following the Senate vote.<\/p>\n $2 BILLION IN XRP BOUGHT BY WHALES<\/p>\n Whale activity on the XRP network has surged over the past 96 hours.<\/p>\n Large holders appear to have accumulated roughly 1.54 billion $XRP<\/a>, worth around $2.2 billion.<\/p>\n That\u2019s a significant accumulation spike that could soon translate into price\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/cBssFmv3wQ<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/Ty3ukakDvi<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Ali Charts (@alicharts) September 19, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\n Martinez also believes that this spectacular accumulation spree can soon \u201ctranslate into price action, leading to a bullish breakout.\u201d He has previously predicted that XRP is primed<\/a> to challenge the key psychological level at $2.00.<\/p>\n Crypto Patel also noted<\/a> that XRP is sitting above a \u201cmajor long-term accumulation zone\u201d on the 2-week chart, and it has reclaimed its long-term structure. As such, the analyst outlined some major targets that begin with the potential run toward the first crucial resistance at $1.70. If that one falls, the asset could head toward $3.00, and Patel\u2019s long-term target remains at a whopping $10 or even beyond.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Dark Defender said XRP\u2019s 5-wave structure is \u201crock solid,\u201d after the asset \u201csaid bye-bye\u201d to a key resistance capping its breakout attempts.
