#FOMCWatch Largest XRP Whales Are Making a Move – Will Price Respond?
XRP price has rebounded from recent lows, rising nearly 4% from yesterday’s bottom and stabilizing after a modest pullback. While the broader trend remains cautious, a new metric suggests downside momentum may be fading.

The timing also matters. Ripple recently moved closer to securing a US banking
XRP Price Levels That Decide If the Reversal Holds
For the bullish divergence to stay valid, the XRP price needs follow-through. The first level that matters is $2.11. A daily close above it would mark a 3.72% move from current levels and confirm that buyers are regaining short-term control. XRP has not held above $2.11 since early December.
