XRP is holding above the $1.10 support level after a turbulent week, trading in a tight $1.13–$1.15 range Monday. Fresh data shows whales are accumulating: more than 25 million XRP tokens left exchanges over the period, while daily spot volume surged 16% to just north of $2 billion. Meanwhile, early-stage Layer 3 infrastructure project LiquidChain has raised $830,000 in its presale, offering tokens at $0.01467.
Whale accumulation picks up
The exchange outflow data points to a clear pattern of accumulation. Over 25 million XRP moved off platforms — a move typically associated with long-term holders moving tokens into cold storage. The volume spike, up 16% in the same window, suggests the buying is broad-based and not just one large player. XRP investment products have now drawn cumulative inflows exceeding $1.4 billion, a figure that only Bitcoin has matched among top-10 assets by market cap since 2014, per CoinGecko.
Key levels and the risk of a pullback
XRP reclaimed $1.10 after a few choppy days, but the path ahead isn't clean. Key supports sit at $1.06, $1.03, and $1.00 — a weekly close below $1.00 would flip the chart bearish. Macro and technical indicators suggest a retracement could come after the recent breakout. On the bullish side, if exchange outflows persist and an ETF narrative picks up steam, XRP could reclaim the $1.30–$1.40 resistance zone and eventually target $2.50–$3.50 by year-end 2026.
LiquidChain presale passes $830K
In altcoin funding news, LiquidChain ($LIQUID) — an early-stage Layer 3 protocol building a unified liquidity layer across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana — has raised $830,000 in its current presale. The token is priced at $0.01467. The project is still in its early days; presale investors are betting on cross-chain interoperability becoming a bigger narrative in the second half of 2026.
For now, XRP traders are watching whether the $1.10 floor holds through the rest of the week. LiquidChain's presale remains open with no announced end date as of this writing.
