XRP (XRP) price displayed strength on Monday, rising 2% over the last 24 hours after traders adjusted to last week’s sell-off, coinciding with a 50 billion XRP sale by Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen. XRP price remains above $3 at the time of writing, and analysts are watching several key support levels that must hold for the uptrend to continue. ## Whales accumulate XRP above $3 Certain indicators show that XRP price may continue its uptrend despite fears of possible future sell-offs by Larsen. For instance, Santiment’s Supply Distribution metric shows a steady rise in the supply held by entities with a 10 million–100 million balance. These addresses now own 8.31 billion XRP, a new monthly high. This represents 14% of the total XRP circulating supply. *Supply held by addresses holding between 10M and 100M XRP.

More importantly, these large entities reduce selling pressure and create a price floor, encouraging smaller retail investors to follow suit. Meanwhile, XRP Ledger’s network growth remains high as a spike in new wallets reflects elevated demand. XRP has gained over 30% against Bitcoin (BTC) in the last 30 days. The chart below shows that new addresses created on the XRPL peaked around 11,000 on July 18, averaging a relatively high 7,500 per day since.

Source:* *Santiment* ## Key XRP price levels to watch before $4 Several market analysts say XRP will revisit its multi-year highs of $3.66 and go even higher, but several key support levels must be defended first. Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that XRP price bounced off a key demand zone above $3 on June 25 after sweeping around the $2.95 level. “This pullback wiped out nearly 30% of all open interest on XRP (1.3B),” said trader and analyst Dom in a Thursday post on X. ***Related:*** ***XRP’s bull run might have ended at $3.65: Here’s what must happen to save it*** The $2.95 local level coincides with the monthly volume-weighted average price (VWAP) and the monthly Rolling Volume-Weighted Average Price, or RVWAP. > “I think down to $2.80s is the lowest we would want to see this go before the structure becomes questionable. *XRP/USD eight-hour chart. Source: Dom* Fellow analyst CasiTrades said XRP’s “critical support” remains at $3, adding that if volume begins to rise and price breaks the $3.30 resistance (where the 50-period SMA sits), “we could see fresh highs quickly!” CasiTrades added: > “The first Wave 3 target sits near $3.82, which is the 2.618 Fibonacci extension.” *XRP/USD four-hour chart.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt said that XRP had formed a “highly rare continuation compound fulcrum” pattern that could propel the price to $4.47. Others cite whale accumulation, strong technicals and positive market sentiment as the likely drivers for XRP price to reach $4 or higher.
