Ethereum is consolidating between $2,250 and $2,450 as the market searches for the catalyst or the structural shift that forces a decisive move in either direction. The price is holding but not breaking — and CryptoQuant analyst MorenoDV has identified a divergence in the derivatives data across two of the largest exchanges in the world that adds a specific risk dimension to the current setup that most participants are not watching.

A higher ratio does not automatically signal danger, but it does describe a more sensitive market structure: more open positions relative to available reserves means more potential volatility per unit of the underlying asset, and a lower tolerance for adverse price movements before liquidation dynamics begin t

The post XRP Leans on Institutional Flows for 12% Price Breakout Push appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP price (XRP) consolidates inside a falling channel handle, holding a setup that projects a 12% breakout target if institutional demand pushes the technical pattern over the neckline. Spot ETF inflows, smart money positioning, and a sharp drop in exchange selling pressure now stack behind the setup, raising the odds of a breakout against XRP’s history of failed cup formations. XRP Price Builds a Bullish Pattern as Volume Cools The XRP daily chart shows a cup and handle pattern forming between April 17 and May 10. The cup was carved out over three weeks, and a falling channel has acted as the handle since May 10. The cup measures roughly 12% from rim to bottom, projecting a matching upside if the neckline breaks. Volume tells a constructive story. Selling volume across the handle has cooled while buyers have stepped in on dips, the kind of behavior that typically precedes a patte

The post XRP Ledger Whale Wallets Hit Record High Amid Accumulation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP Ledger Wallet Growth Hits Record High as Large Holders Keep Accumulating   Santiment Intelligence reports a major milestone for the XRP Ledger, with wallets holding over 10,000 XRP hitting an all-time high of 332,230.  More notably, this consistent climb since June 2024 points to steady accumulation, suggesting long-term conviction rather than short-lived speculative activity.  What makes this metric worth a keen eye is the profile of the holders behind it. Wallets holding 10,000 XRP or more are generally mid- to large-scale investors who tend to look past short-term volatility and focus on longer-term positioning.  As a result, their steady growth points to strengthening conviction in XRP’s role in digital payments and liquidity infrastructure, even through shifting market conditions.  Another key takeaway is that despite XRP’s consolidating price action, big players’ accumulat
