Traders and investors consider an increase in exchange reserves a potential sell-off signal, as it indicates that whales and institutions are moving their holdings to exchanges for potential sell-offs, thereby increasing exchange reserves.

XRP’s current price momentum 

Despite the increase in exchange reserves, XRP’s price remains. As of press time, it is trading near $0.586 and has experienced a modest price decline of 0.45% in the past 24 hours.

Meanwhile, XRP’s trading volume during the same period has dropped by 4.8%, indicating lower participation from traders, potentially due to the ongoing price correction.

Given the recent increase in XRP’s exchange reserves, it will be very crucial to understand whether the token will rally or crash in the coming days.

Based on the price action, if XRP breaks out of this consolidation zone and closes a daily candle above the $0.60 level, there is a high possibility it could soar to the $0.72 level.

However, if it breaks down from this consolidation zone and closes a candle below the $0.545 level, it could potentially decline to the $0.464 level.
