XRP bulls are attempting to get back in the game after a series of profit-taking events has pushed the OG altcoin below the $3 territory. Recently, blockchain analytics company Glassnode has drawn the public’s attention to severe profit taking trends resurging.

Glassnode Draws Attention Huge XRP Profit-Taking

A great example of that was last month’s $375 million cashed out by long-term holders in a single day on July 24, 2025. Glassnode’s specialists argue that a similar thing occurred during the late 2024 rally, when a large distribution event bumped XRP’s price back to $2 after a spark to $2.71 on December 3.

This time, XRP’s price dwells at the $2.90 territory, 10 cents below the critical resistance levels that the crypto bulls are looking to conquer back. Amidst the ongoing geopolitical tensions & market uncertainty, do XRP bulls stand a chance at pushing to unprecedented heights, just like they did last January?

Bears Still In Control, But $5 XRP Isn’t Far-Fetched

Technically speaking, Ripple coin’s (XRP) price charts are flashing a buying signal on the hourly charts according to the TD Sequential, but don’t ape in just yet. Per Ali Martinez’s latest XRP price analysis, this constitutes an under-priced XRP position at $2.91, but would the crypto whales second Ali’s opinion?

As DailyCoin’s research team dug into the on-chain metrics, whale behavior-tracking devices like the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) & the Bull Bear Power (BBP) painted a different picture. First of all, the CMF dwelled in negative territory since August 17, signaling whale cash-outs.

Moreover, the Bull Bear Power meter was flashing mostly red since August 15, testifying the market correction kicking in. Despite this, the Parabolic Stop & Reverse (SAR) showed upside potential, similarly to Ali Martinez’s TD Sequential methodology, backing up XRP’s $5 goal.
