Large 
XRP holders have transferred $112.4 million to Binance, according to data from crypto analysts cited by both BeInCrypto and Crypto.news. This represents the highest level of whale inflows to the exchange in seven months, suggesting increased selling pressure.
The XRP price has retreated to $1.33 as a result of this development, marking a 4.05% decline over the past 24 hours. The move comes amid a broader market downturn, with 
Bitcoin down 3.14% and the overall crypto market cap at $2.81 trillion.
While the surge in whale inflows indicates potential selling pressure, there are signs that the heaviest selling may already be easing, according to BeInCrypto. Traders are now closely watching the $1.25 level as a critical support zone, as reported by Crypto.news.
The slowdown in ETF buying, as noted by Crypto.news, adds to the bearish sentiment surrounding XRP. This factor, combined with the whale movements, suggests that market participants are cautious about the near-term price trajectory.
The broader market context shows a fear and greed index of 68, indicating 'Greed' among investors. However, the recent price decline and increased selling pressure could shift this sentiment if the downward trend continues.
