XRP coils under $1.53 resistance as whale balances hold at 3.9B, U.Today says
In brief
- XRP traded between $1.48 and $1.51 near a 4-hour symmetrical triangle apex, per U.Today.
- Aggregate whale balances held flat at 3.9 billion XRP; U.Today named no data provider.
- A 4-hour candle close above $1.53 is the outlet's breakout trigger.
- $1.46 is U.Today's cited support if XRP fails to clear $1.53.
What U.Today's chart analysis says
The setup is narrow. U.Today described the $1.52–$1.54 zone as XRP's main barrier, and it's treating a 4-hour candle close above $1.53 as the level that would confirm a breakout from the triangle. In that scenario, the outlet listed $1.62 and then $1.70 as upside levels.
The other branch is just as specific. If XRP fails to clear $1.53, U.Today said the price would retest support at $1.46. Neither path is a LeoDex News forecast (these are conditional levels from the outlet's own read of the chart, not a call on where XRP goes next).
The whale data, and what it doesn't show
U.Today said aggregate XRP whale balances held steady at 3.9 billion tokens, citing on-chain indicators. It didn't name the data provider behind that figure, so there's no specific dashboard to check it against.
The outlet also reported that large wallets had accumulated between hundreds of millions and a billion XRP over the previous few months. Its read on the current pause was blunt:
The current pause looks less like fear and more like strict patience ahead of a packed calendar of events.
That's U.Today's interpretation.
A flat balance figure on its own doesn't tell anyone what large holders intend to do.
The calendar U.Today points to
U.Today paired the chart with several claims it didn't attribute to any outside source. It reported that net inflows into U.S. spot XRP ETFs had reached 1.7–1.8 billion (the outlet gave no currency unit). It also said Evernorth's XRPN vehicle, which it described as holding a treasury of hundreds of millions of XRP, was expected to list on Nasdaq on October 8.
The last item sits at the network level. According to U.Today, the BatchV1_1 upgrade was set to activate on October 8–9, enabling atomic settlements for Asian banking partners under the XRP Asia initiative. LeoDex News hasn't independently verified any of these three claims, and they're presented here only as the outlet's assertions.
