XRP Price Faces a Threat From an Unexpected Holder Group

The XRP price trades near $2.20, flat on the day and up about 1.5% in the past week. On the surface, the trend still looks steady compared to the broader market.

But when you dig deeper into holder behavior, one group is quietly shifting from supportive to risky.

Short-Term Holders Stay Positive, But Long-Term Holders Turn Risky

HODL Waves track how much supply sits in different holding-time bands. They show that short-term XRP holders are still steady. The one-to-three-month band has increased the stash from 8.80% to 9.48% since November 11. The one-week-to-one-month band also increased from 4.97% to 6.99%.

These groups usually sell fast when pressure hits, yet they have been accumulating instead.

High Profit-Taking Incentive: Glassnode

So the incentive to take profit is real, and long-term holders are acting on it — this is the red flag. A sign that the XRP price is losing conviction among HODLers.

XRP Price Holds Key Levels For Now, But Breakout Confirmation Is Needed?

XRP trades between familiar levels. The first support sits at $2.06. If long-term holder selling increases and price loses this level, XRP could revisit $1.81, a recent local bottom.

Sponsored

To stay in its green zone, XRP needs a clean close above $2.24, flipping the short-term trend upward. That would open the path toward $2.58 and $2.69, but only if big money supports the breakout.

This is where CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) comes in. CMF measures money flowing in from large wallets. It has moved slightly above zero, indicating some inflow, but it still sits below a descending trendline. Until CMF breaks that trendline, inflows are not strong enough to fully offset long-term holder selling.

XRP Price Analysis: TradingView

For now, XRP price still holds its green (week-on-week), but long-term holders — backed by high NUPL and rising outflows — remain the slow-forming red flag that traders should watch closely.

This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

The signal triggers based on updates from the House disclosure reports, notifying you of their latest stock transactions. Enable signal The trade has since paid off, with Opendoor surging to $10, a gain of nearly 220% in under two months. By comparison, the broader S&P 500 index rose less than 5% during the same period. OPEN one-week stock price chart. Source: Finbold Assuming he invested a minimum of $1,001, the purchase would now be worth about $3,200, while a $15,000 stake would have grown to nearly $48,000, generating profits of roughly $2,200 and $33,000, respectively. OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
