Ripple Whale Moves $273M As Analyst Predicts XRP Price Crash To $1.90
In the latest development within the Ripple community, a whale moved $273 million worth of XRP, contributing to increased activity. If XRP continues to face rejection at the $2.17 mark, its price could drop to $1.90 due to the whale activity and unfavorable technical indicators.
Whale Transfers 131 Million XRP In A Single Transaction
A Ripple whale has created a buzz in the ecosystem following a hefty transfer of XRP between wallets, leaving investors scanning the horizon. According to data from Whale Alerts, the Ripple whale moved 131,000,000 XRP between two wallets in a single transaction.
The market value of the moved XRP stands at a staggering $273 million, stoking speculation for an incoming dump. Per the announcement, the wallets involved in the transfers are unknown as investors scan the horizons for clues about the heightened whale activity.
“131,000,000 XRP (273,945,648 USD) transferred from unknown wallet to unknown wallet,” read the Whale Alert post on X.
There is increased chatter that the wallets may belong to an exchange but details remain under wraps. In this scenario, the transfers are a primer for a massive sale that will adversely affect the XRP price. Typically, whale activity piques the interest of retail traders, stoking panic that leads to sell-offs even without the whale selling their XRP holdings.
Conversely, the whale activity may be an over-the-counter (OTC) transaction without any immediate impact on XRP price. However, investors have their eyes peeled on a chain reaction from other Ripple whales following the latest XRP transfers. A cascading effect is forming after a Ripple whale transferred $63 million in a single transaction barely 12 hours ago.
XRP Price Faces Stern Test At Resistance Level
Amid the rising whale activity in the ecosystem, XRP price faces an uphill climb in the push for higher figures. XRP price has previously attempted to breach the $2.17 mark but a streak of rejections have soured traders sentiments.
Cryptocurrency analyst CasiTrades notes that while $2.17 continues to operate as a ceiling, the XRP price will fall to a new support level. XRP is trading at $2.06 amid speculation that the XRP price has bottomed despite the rejection at the $2.17 level.
According to CasiTrades, XRP price is headed toward $1.90 but a steeper decline to $1.55 remains a grim possibility. CasiTrades predicts that prices will not remain stagnant at the new support levels, noting that the level will be “quickly bought up.”
“But if this rejection continues to play out, support at $1.90 and $1.555 remains firmly in play.
Over the last week, XRP price has gained 15% but whale activity has seen it lose 4% over 24 hours. The XRP ETF buzz and a potential SWIFT integration with Ripple could send XRP price beyond $3.

Based on historical data, July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price, which continues to consolidate amid this crypto market downtrend. Despite the market downturn, crypto analysts like CasiTrades are confident that the altcoin could still reach a new all-time high (ATH) in this market cycle.
Historical Data Points To July Being The Next Bullish Month For The XRP Price
Cryptorank data shows that July could be the next bullish month for the XRP price. This is based on the fact that the altcoin has recorded significant gains in each of the last five Julys.
Unlike July, April to June have been mixed for XRP over the last five years. For April, the last three out of five months have been bearish for the altcoin, although it recorded a 174% gain in April 2021.
For May, three out of the last five months have been bearish for the XRP price, although it recorded meagre gains in May 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile, June has been completely bearish for the altcoin, as it recorded monthly losses in the last five months.
It is worth mentioning that four out of the five monthly gains for XRP in July have been double-digit gains. As such, Ripple’s native crypto could again record double-digit gains this coming July.
Interestingly, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto predicted that XRP could reach double digits by its July 21 cycle peak. He alluded to the altcoin’s previous bull runs as to why July could mark this cycle’s peak. The analyst believes the Ripple price could reach $27 by then.
Analysts Argue XRP’s Consolidation Could End Soon
Amid this historical data, crypto analysts Dark Defender and CasiTrades have suggested that the XRP price consolidation could end soon. In an X post, Dark Defender stated that the altcoin’s consolidation is nearing an end and that he believes this is the final consolidation of the monthly structure.
Once this consolidation is done, the crypto analyst remarked that market participants can expect the Wave 5, which will send Ripple’s native crypto to new highs. He highlighted $2.22 and $2.30 as the major resistances to watch out for, while $1.88 and $1.63 are the major support levels. Meanwhile, the targets on this Wave 5 up are $3.75 and $5.85, which will mark a new ATH for the altcoin.
As CoinGape reported, crypto analyst CasiTrades also predicted that the XRP price could soon reach $6 as Wave 2 correction nears its end. The analyst also raised the possibility of the altcoin rallying to as high as $9.50 and $12 if it reaches the 2.618 and 3.618 Fibonacci extension levels, respectively.
However, there is still the possibility of the XRP price dropping below the $2 level before it rallies to new highs. Egrag Crypto warned that Ripple’s native crypto could still drop to as low as $1.4 in the event of a major liquidation.

The ETH price’s bearish sentiment since January 2025 has taken a toll on investor confidence, with Ethereum ETFs witnessing significant outflows. As ETH’s value continues to plummet, investors increasingly withdraw their funds. With Ethereum exchange-traded funds recording a massive $32 million in weekly outflows, analysts caution against a potential downtrend.
As Ethereum lingers below the $2,000 mark for weeks, market experts and traders are bracing for a potential further decline to $1,100. Let’s dive deeper into the reasons behind the significant outflows from Ethereum ETFs and its potential impact on ETH price.
Ethereum ETFs Record $32M Weekly Outflows: What’s Happening?
According to SoSoValue, Ethereum ETFs experienced increasing outflows over the past week, driven by the overarching negative market trend. Last week, the ETFs saw a total net outflow of $32.17 million, pushing the month’s outflows to $170.99 million.
In addition, the Ethereum exchange-traded funds experienced an unusual day of neutral flows yesterday, with neither net inflows nor outflows reported. Analyst Ali Martinez shed light on the increasing whale activity over the past week. According to his X post, ETH whales have offloaded 143,000 tokens last week.
Significantly, this negative sentiment could be attributed to the ETH price’s bearish trend which began in January. Ethereum, which stood high-headed above $3,500 at the onset of 2025, started plummeting to reach a severe low of $1,500 in April. This steady downtrend has caused a stir in the market, with traders showing less interest towards the altcoin.
Is ETH Price Poised for a Crash?
Growing pessimism surrounding Ethereum ETFs has led analysts to warn the community that ETH’s price may extend its downward trajectory. For instance, analyst Altcoin Gordon shared a bearish forecast for ETH price, predicting that the token would further drop to $1,100. However, as per CoinGape’s Ethereum price prediction, ETH could destabilize around a minimum of $1,588 in 2025.

As of press time, ETH is valued at $1,592, down by a marginal 0.20% in a day. Despite a 2.3% surge over the past seven days, ETH has seen a massive dip of 21% in a month. This negative vibe is also reflected on the traders’ sentiment, with the 24-hour trading volume decreasing by 23% to reach $10.5 billion.
Significantly, the Ethereum transaction fees’ recent crash to a five-year low has also contributed to the overall bearish sentiment.
Ethereum Bulls Remain Optimistic
Despite these bearish predictions and negative Ethereum ETF trend, bulls remain optimistic about the ETH price. Analysts like Crypto Rover and CryptoGoos shared their bullish outlooks on Ethereum, invoking investors’ enthusiasm.
According to CryptoGoos, ETH is expected to repeat history to surge beyond $2,800 in the near future. Meanwhile, market expert Crypto Rover projected the ETH price’s potential journey to an ambitious $10,000. However, it needs to be seen whether ETH can break through its current resistance levels and achieve these lofty targets.
