Large XRP holders have accumulated 45.8 billion tokens, representing 68.5% of the circulating supply, the highest since May 2018. Despite this, XRP's price remains confined between $1.30 and $1.60, currently around $1.445, with low inflows into US spot XRP ETFs totaling $1.25 billion. Increased on-chain activity suggests growing interest, but technical analysis shows limited near-term upside with only a 2% chance of surpassing $2 before May ends. Long-term projections hint at potential gains if a breakout occurs.
