On-chain data shows the XRP whales have transferred significant amounts in the asset during the past day. Here’s where the coins are heading. XRP Whales Have Just Made Two Large Transactions According to data from cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert, two massive transfers have been spotted on the XRP blockchain in the last 24 hours. Both of these moves were of a scale that can be associated to the whales, entities that carry significant amounts in their wallets. Due to their size, these investors can hold some degree of influence on the network, so their transfers can be worth keeping an eye on. They may not always directly affect the asset, but they can still sometimes be revealing about the sentiment among the cohort. Related Reading: XRP Breaks Out Of Bull Pennant—Is $15 Now In Sight? That said, it’s only possible to speculate on transactions when they involve at least one wallet that’s identifiable. Cryptocurrency networks are, after all, anonymous by nature, so a lot of transfers don’t hold any meaningful information. The older of the two XRP whale transfers from the past day, which also happens to be the much more massive of the two, was unfortunately of the type with no known addresses. As is visible above, the transfer involved around 200 million XRP, worth a whopping $700.6 million at the time that the move was executed on the blockchain. The transaction occurred between two unknown wallets, meaning that they were likely to have been self-custodial addresses. As mentioned before, it’s hard to infer anything from moves like these, as they can have any underlying reason, ranging from something as simple as a change of wallets to a peer-to-peer (P2P) sale. The second whale transfer for the day, however, was different. Below are the details associated with this move. This transaction, which saw the movement of 16.8 million tokens of the asset (about $58.3 million), had an unknown wallet as the sender, but on its receiving end was an address associated with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase. Moves of this type, where coins flow from a self-custodial wallet to a centralize exchange, are called Exchange Inflows. Generally, holders deposit their coins to these platforms when they want to make use of one of the services that they provide, which can include selling. As such, Exchange Inflows can sometimes prove to be bearish for the cryptocurrency’s price.

Bitcoin’s recent price action reflects a consolidation phase rather than a decisive move in either direction. After briefly touching an all-time high of over $123,000 earlier this month, BTC has seen a gradual pullback, currently trading around $118,000 at the time of writing. This represents a 1.1% drop in the last 24 hours and a 3.9% decline from its peak, as traders evaluate whether the current market structure suggests a continuation or a correction. According to new insights from CryptoQuant contributors, indicators present a split narrative. Some metrics suggest rising optimism among traders, while others indicate a more cautious and holding-focused environment.

This metric, which tracks the volume of long versus short positions on the exchange, has tilted significantly bullish within the $116,000–$120,000 price range. He noted that during Bitcoin’s previous consolidation between $100,000 and $110,000, sentiment leaned toward short positions, a setup that preceded a breakout to the upside and a wave of short liquidations. This time, however, the environment has flipped. BorisVest explained: Now that sentiment is skewed heavily toward longs, the same principle could apply in reverse. When the majority positions in one direction, it often creates a setup for the opposite move. The current range is acting as a trap zone, where traders’ expectations are repeatedly tested. The historical tendency for sentiment extremes to precede contrary price action has prompted some analysts to advise caution, suggesting that growing bullish bias could lead to a temporary reversal if met with enough liquidity pressure. Bitcoin Exchange Flow Patterns Reflect Investor Patience While Binance sentiment data leans bullish, another key on-chain indicator paints a different picture. CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain examined the Bitcoin Flow Pulse (IFP) indicator, which tracks BTC movements to centralized exchanges. Related Reading: Bitcoin Must Defend This Key Support For $180,000 Year-End Target, Analyst Says According to the data, despite Bitcoin’s recent high above $120,000, there has not been a corresponding spike in exchange inflows, suggesting that investors are not rushing to take profits or exit the market. This behavior contrasts with historical cycles in 2017 and 2021, where price peaks were accompanied by large exchange inflows and followed by corrections. Arab Chain wrote: The market now shows a consolidating trend, with reduced selling pressure. The low flow to exchanges indicates confidence among holders and suggests that many participants are expecting the uptrend to continue. Still, he cautioned that a shift in the IFP indicator, such as a sudden rise in exchange flows, could act as an early warning for increased supply pressure.
