Although the 30DMA does not yet have to turn green, the delay on the weakening of Beerarish indicates pressure.
This shift can lay the foundation for a more stable base – and possibly the next leg up.
Why the delay matters
XRP is confronted with months of persistent whale running, one of the worst since the beginning of 2023. These outsource have put pressure on both price and investor sentiment.
Net streams are now stabilizing and the price diagram shows renewed strength, some careful optimism.
Usually, when the whale base flows outside and starts to restore, this indicates accumulation or basic buildings.
In earlier cycles, such as mid -2023, similar whale activity preceded several weeks of rallies. If this current delay continues, this may indicate a shift from volatility to consolidation.
