Is the XRP Army finally waking up?
If you checked your portfolio this morning, you probably saw green candles everywhere. But don’t celebrate just yet. While the charts show a massive $3.6 billion whale movement, something feels different this time.
Remember the heartbreak of 2022? Or the false hope of 2024? We’ve all been there. But this week marks the five-year anniversary of the John Deaton vs. SEC showdown, and frankly, the timing is too perfect to be a coincidence.
The “Lagos Factor”: What Traders Are Saying
Here in Nigeria, the sentiment is shifting fast. I spoke to Chinedu, a crypto trader in Ikeja who has held XRP since the 2021 crash. For the first time in years, he isn’t selling.
“This isn’t just retail money,” he told me this morning. “You don’t move $3.6 billion unless you know something the rest of us don’t.”
He might be right. On-chain data confirms that this liquidity injection is the largest since the $3.66 peak of late 2025. When whales buy this aggressively, retail usually follows.
The $3.66 Question
Can we really get back to the 2025 highs? Let’s look at the cold, hard facts.
- Supply Shock: Exchange reserves are at a 3-year low.
- Legal Clarity: The SEC war is officially over (Happy Anniversary, by the way).
- Institutional FOMO: With Solana and Bitcoin ETFs already flying, XRP is the next logical target for Wall Street money.
The Waves Times Verdict
I’m not a financial advisor, and this isn’t financial advice. But if you are waiting for a “safer” entry point, you might be waiting forever.
The $1.87 support level is holding like a rock. If the whales are betting billions on a 2026 rally, maybe it’s time to pay attention.
My take? Watch the weekly close. If we break $2.10, the “Moon Boys” might actually be right this time.
