- XRP price rose to a six-month peak of $0.75 on Wednesday, up 50% in the last 10 days.
- XRP’s latest price surge coincided with its official listing on Robinhood, one of the largest retail trading platforms.
- In the past 48 hours, traders moved 45 million XRP coins from exchanges into long-term storage, signaling expectations of future gains.
On November 13, Ripple (XRP) price crossed the $0.75 mark for the first time in 2024. On-chain data trends suggest the majority of current XRP holders are anticipating more gains.
XRP price hits 50% gains on Robinhood listing
While the majority of crypto traders bet on Donald Trump to win the November 5 presidential election, Ripple (XRP) founders donated over $11 million to the Kamala Harris campaign.
In effect, XRP price lagged behind the broader crypto rally in the aftermath of Trump’s landslide win.
While the likes of BTC, Dogecoin and Solana price had increased by more than 50% within a week of the election, XRP price recorded a subdued 25% gain, as it rejected the $0.65 resistance on November 11.
Ripple (XRP) price analysis | TradingView
The chart above shows that the global altcoin market cap grew by 33% between November 5 and November 11, highlighting XRP’s initially lagging price performance.
However, on November 13, market sentiment turned positive after Robinhood announced the listing of XRP, Solana and Cardano.
This listing reflects a significant shift in the US regulatory stance as major crypto platforms had previously delisted these altcoins following the SEC’s 2023 lawsuit against Binance and Coinbase that accused these assets of being unregistered securities.
With Trump’s election victory, the incoming administration is expected to replace SEC Chair Gary Gensler with a more crypto-friendly candidate. Consequently, the re-listing of XRP and other large-cap altcoins signals growing anticipation of a positive shift in the US regulatory landscape for cryptocurrencies when the new administration takes office in January 2025.
In effect, XRP price has instantly surged by another 22% since the Robinhood listing announcement, reaching a new 2024 peak of $0.76 on November 14.
Traders move 45 million XRP into long-term savings in 48 hours
Looking beyond the price action, on-chain movements observed in the last 48 hours suggest the Robinhood listing has triggered increased confidence in XRP’s long-term price prospect.
Confirming this narrative, CryptoQuant’s exchange reserves metric tracks the supply of XRP coins deposited on major trading platforms.
XRP Exchange reserves | XRPUSD
The chart above shows the Exchange reserves stood at 3.27 billion XRP at close of November 12.
But following the Robinhood listing, traders moved 45 million XRP out of the short-term market supply, cutting down the exchange reserves below 3.23 million XRP at the time of publication.
Valued at the current prices, XRP exchange outflows over the last 48 hours have crossed $33 million.
When exchange supply dips during a major rally, as observed in the XRP market this week, strategic investors interpret it as a bullish signal for two key reasons.
Reduced exchange reserves typically suggest a shift toward long-term holdings rather than seeking immediate exit opportunities.
This reduction in liquid supply can intensify upward price pressure as fewer tokens are available for rapid sales.
Hence, if demand persists, XRP’s ongoing rally could gain further momentum and advance toward the next psychological resistance level at $0.80.
XRP price forecast: $0.80 breakout still in play if $0.70 support holds
After peaking at $0.75, XRP price has retraced mildly to consolidate above the $0.73 level at press time on Thursday.
However, with the $33 million exchange outflows tightening the market supply, XRP price appears on the verge of another leg-up toward the $0.80 level.
The bullish thesis is supported by the rising green bars on the Bull-Bear Power (BBP) technical indicator, suggesting strong buying momentum.
XRP price forecast | XRPUSD
Should XRP maintain short-term support above the $0.70 level, bulls could regroup for a major attempt at reclaiming the $0.80 resistance level, with further potential to reach $0.85 if buying pressure sustains.
However, this bullish thesis could be invalidated if XRP drops below the $0.70 support, as it may trigger selling pressure. In that scenario, a decline to the R1 pivot level around $0.60 could ensue.
