If the sender intends to liquidate the holdings, it could intensify the struggle XRP is facing to hold above the key $2.30 resistance level. However, some analysts caution against reading too much into the transfer. It could be part of internal rebalancing or a strategic liquidity move, rather than a precursor to a market dump. XRP’s bullish play Despite the uncertainty surrounding the transfer, technical indicators remain bullish. In this case, according to crypto analyst Ali Martinez, XRP has formed an inverse head and shoulders pattern over the past month, an historically reliable signal of a potential trend reversal. The pattern, characterized by three troughs with the middle one (the “head”) being the deepest, suggests a transition from a downtrend to an uptrend. $XRP is breaking out! pic.twitter.com/y5S8LdYgXG — Ali (@ali_charts) July 7, 2025 According to Martinez, a confirmed breakout above the neckline at around $2.33 could validate the reversal and set the stage for a 12% rally, potentially pushing XRP to $2.60. Such a breakout would reinforce bullish sentiment and likely attract more buyers around the asset.
