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 are reinforcing expectations of a powerful breakout ahead.
π¦ Institutional Inflows Into XRP Hit Record Highs
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 cumulative inflows 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 negative sentiment has bottomed and a new accumulation phase is forming.
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 appears before a market trend reversal," investor Giannis Andreou commented.
π Derivatives Traders Are Heavily Bullish
Data from CoinGlass shows market sentiment shifting decisively to the upside:
- XRP's funding rate has risen to 0.0189%, indicating the majority of traders are betting on price increases
- 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 $2.65 Target Is Opening Up
On the 4-hour chart, XRP is trading just above a symmetrical triangle pattern, a formation that typically signals a major move is imminent.
- XRP needs to close a candle above $2.15 to confirm the triangle breakout
- A break above $2.30 would establish a new bullish structure
- Technical targets: $2.40 β $2.58
- Extended pattern target: $2.65, representing roughly a 27% gain
Analyst BD noted that the current pattern could lead to a 16% rally in the near term and pave the way for higher levels.
