XRP whales on a buying spree

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), it was reported that XRP whales have added over 50 million tokens in the last 24 hours, and increased their holdings by approximately $29.5 million.

This suggested that whales were taking advantage of the recent price drop. 

However, this massive accumulation comes following the announcement of an XRP documentary by the Los Angeles-based film studio Fruition Production.

If the market sentiment remains bearish and the XRP price falls to $0.575, nearly $18 million of long positions will be liquidated.

Conversely, if the sentiment shifts and the price soars to the $0.604 level, nearly $13.3 million worth of short positions will be liquidated.
