XRP continues to flash strong recovery signals as the crypto market enters a new phase of institutional capital flows. Over the past 24 hours, XRP climbed 3% to reach $2.10, marking a 15.5% rebound from its November 21 low. A wave of on-chain data, ETF inflows, and technical analysis is building the case for a major breakout in the near term.
π¦ Institutional Inflows Into XRP Hit Record Levels
A CoinShares report shows surging institutional demand for XRP.
For the week ending December 5:
- XRP investment products recorded $245 million in inflows
- Year-to-date totals reached $3.1 billion β far surpassing the $608 million seen in all of 2024
James Butterfill, Head of Research at CoinShares, noted that ETP investors believe the period of negative sentiment has bottomed out and that a new accumulation phase is taking shape.
Meanwhile, U.S. spot XRP ETFs recorded 15 consecutive days of positive inflows, pushing total assets under management (AUM) close to $900 million, with more than 400 million XRP locked in investment funds.
"That kind of accumulation demand typically shows up before a trend reversal," investor Giannis Andreou said.
π Derivatives Traders Are Heavily Bullish
Data from CoinGlass shows market sentiment shifting clearly to the upside:
- XRP's funding rate has risen to 0.0189%, indicating the majority of traders are betting on higher prices
- 72% of trading accounts on Binance are holding long positions
- On Hyperliquid, the long ratio also stands at 72%, equivalent to $94.5 million
While this raises liquidation risk, it reflects growing conviction that XRP will continue to climb.
π Technical Analysis: The Path to $2.65 Is Opening Up
On the 4-hour chart, XRP is trading just above a symmetrical triangle pattern, a formation that typically signals a large move is imminent.
- XRP needs to close a candle above $2.15 to confirm the triangle breakout
- A push above $2.30 would establish a new bullish structure
- Technical targets: $2.40 β $2.58
- Pattern extension target: $2.65, representing a roughly 27% gain
Analyst BD noted that the current pattern could lead to a 16% short-term surge and pave the way toward higher levels.
