XRP traded largely sideways on Tuesday, with the token up nearly 1.5% over the past seven days as broader crypto sentiment stayed weak after heavy selling.

At press time, XRP changed hands at $1.14, up 0.96% over the last 24 hours.

XRP held near $1.34 on Saturday after a rebound that started Thursday from a multi-month support area around $1.34. The move came as sentiment improved amid steep losses shown by the 30-day MVRV metric and a drop in $1M+ whale transactions from 157 to 67. Influencer YoungHoon Kim forecast XRP at $5–$10 this cycle, while other analysts discussed targets up to $17 and urged patience as XRP remains in a long-standing range.

Data cited in the report also points to slowing accumulation among whales and “dolphins,” alongside softer spot activity and weaker inflows into exchange-traded Bitcoin products.
