The XRP price has remained range-bound over the past couple of weeks. As of the time of writing, XRP is up 1.86% over the past day, but it has been unable to break above the $1.60 resistance level. Despite this lack of breakout, a shift in market activity is being observed on Binance, the world’s leading crypto exchange by trading volume.
In a QuickTake post on CryptoQuant, analyst Amr Taha highlighted an update for the XRP market on Binance. The key metric discussed is the XRP Binance Whale vs Retail Spread, which measures the difference between whale-sized outflows and retail-sized ones on the exchange. The metric is used to gauge whether market activity is being driven more by large holders or by retail traders.
Taha reported that the Whale vs Retail Spread has fallen to approximately 88.8%, which he described as one of the weakest readings the indicator has shown since 2024. He noted that while the current reading remains positive, it is down significantly from prior highs of around 94%.
The analyst pointed out that periods when the spread was above 94% have often coincided with stronger retail activity. Because retail investors are typically more reactive, increased retail transactions have historically aligned with more speculative behavior and, in turn, bullish price tendencies for XRP.
Even so, Taha indicated that the latest move is not necessarily a bearish signal. Instead, it suggests the market may be losing some retail speculation and the strength that often accompanies it. If broader macro conditions remain stable, the article suggests XRP may experience only some mid-term weakness, without triggering a bearish cycle.
As of press time, XRP is trading at $1.41, up 2.28% over the past 24 hours.
