⬤ XRP saw significant exchange inflows on Binance recently, coupled with muted price swings that kept the asset within a narrow band. Heavy XRP exchange inflows along with stable price action may signal accumulating behavior by larger players. The chart titled "XRP Ledger: Exchange Inflow - Value Bands - Binance" shows stacked inflows across several wallet size categories on dates including February 16 and February 21, while the black price line moved modestly from around $1.48 to roughly $1.43 over the same period.
⬤ On the inflow chart, the February 21 bar towers above others with combined inflows exceeding 30 million XRP, largely driven by larger bands such as 100K-1M XRP and the 1M+ XRP segments. This indicates that sizeable volumes from larger holders entered Binance accounts. Despite this elevated activity, XRP price analysis reveals that the price line remained relatively stable around $1.42 to $1.50 USD across the mid-February sessions. The juxtaposition of heavy inflows with steady pricing suggests that selling pressure did not immediately overwhelm demand at these levels.
⬤ The image also shows smaller sessions on February 15, February 17, and February 20 where inflows were nominal and price action stayed within a tight range. While XRP did not spike dramatically in response to the inflow surge, the stability in price alongside large token movements is noteworthy. This pattern, often interpreted as accumulation, resembles scenarios where XRP exchange outflows dropped from 71M to 42M as exchange dynamics and price behavior shifted.
⬤ The co-occurrence of large inflows and stable pricing could point to a phase where tradable supply dynamics and participant behavior are shifting. Similar structural setups where liquidity clusters pointed to $2.80 resistance have influenced directional moves. Past analyses show that shifts in exchange flow patterns have preceded meaningful price moves for XRP, and accumulated interest may drive extended trends as long-term holders show conviction targeting $10. While not a guarantee of immediate price expansion, the data underscores evolving demand profiles in the wider crypto landscape.
