XRP Whale Inflows Reach New Heights Amid Price Turmoil

XRP's recent price action has been turbulent, with a 13.63% drop over the past 10 days after breaking down from a bullish ascending triangle pattern. However, some on-chain data is showing signs of improvement beneath the surface.

The Sharpe Ratio for XRP turned slightly positive on March 26, indicating that current returns still exceed risk and pointing to a gradual positive rebalancing for the altcoin. This suggests that investors may be accumulating XRP despite the recent price drop.

Whale inflows have also picked up, with a 30-day moving average of $9 million per day. This accumulation phase has held since February 27 and is the longest streak since April-July 2025. That prior phase ended with XRP hitting an all-time high of $3.65 on July 18, 2025.

However, the futures market shows signs of stress, with repeated long liquidations above $2.5 million in recent days. This could indicate a fragile setup, where traders keep getting reset during short-term volatility.
