XRP is facing mounting selling pressure as whale activity intensifies, with the token slipping to $1.94 and marking a 2.4% decline. The downturn reflects accelerating sell-offs in the market.

What's driving the move? Long-term holders have dumped approximately $721 million worth of XRP holdings, signaling a potential shift in sentiment. The breach of the $1.93 support level has triggered algorithmic sell-offs, which typically amplify the downward momentum. Meanwhile, altcoin liquidity is tightening considerably as capital flows redirect toward Bitcoin, creating additional headwinds for XRP and similar assets.

Traders are closely monitoring key support levels as the next barrier comes into focus. The combination of whale distribution, technical breakdown, and broader capital rotation toward BTC suggests continued volatility in the near term.

Have all the long-term holders already sold? This is the end, all the funds have flowed into Bitcoin.

The whales are dumping again. Over 700 million long-term holders just like that, it's a bit hard to hold on.

Whales dumping, retail investors getting caught again... Wait, how did long-term holders also leave? That must be so hopeless. Can't hold the 1.93 level, how much further down is there?

Whales are starting to dump again, and long-term holders are also leaving... This round of XRP is really testing faith.

Starting to dump again, long-term account cleared 721 million. Isn't this shorting XRP?

721 million overnight sell-off? On-chain data all point to the whales testing the bottom line. Last night at 3 AM, I saw large transfer records, and the cold wallet cluster activity was unusually frequent. Something's not right.

Still dumping? How are long-term holders selling off at this point? --- $721 million dumped, how panicked must they be haha --- Funds are flowing into BTC, altcoins are really being abandoned --- If the support level breaks, we need to find a new bottom. Can XRP hold steady this time? --- Whales are selling aggressively. I think it will keep falling --- Damn, if 1.93 breaks, it's gone. That feels good --- Long-term holders are all selling, retail investors are still buying in... --- Tightening liquidity—what does it mean? Everyone is fleeing --- Volatility is coming. Don't touch this asset in the short term --- Algorithmic sell orders combined with manual sell orders—who can withstand this? --- When whales move, the whole market dances --- BTC is bleeding, altcoins are suffering, just the old tricks
