XRP investors are showing increasing conviction in the token despite its struggle to maintain a price above the crucial $1.30 resistance level. According to data from Glassnode, the XRP Holder Net Position Change metric has reached 189,903,498 tokens, marking its highest level in one month.
This accumulation comes as XRP trades near the $1.30 mark, with analysts closely watching the $1.20 support level and the $1.50 resistance level, as reported by Crypto.news. The token's current price of $1.31 represents a 1.90% increase over the past 24 hours and a 0.91% gain over the past week.
The Crypto Basic and Crypto.news both corroborate the 189.9M token accumulation figure, highlighting the significance of this one-month high. However, Crypto.news provides additional insights by citing Santiment data, which shows that whale concentration has reached its highest levels since 2022, suggesting that large investors are also showing strong interest in XRP.
The broader cryptocurrency market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.74 trillion. 
Bitcoin has seen a modest 0.39% increase over the past 24 hours, while the overall market sentiment, as measured by the Fear & Greed Index, stands at 48, indicating a neutral outlook.
The accumulation of XRP by holders and whales, coupled with the token's technical position near the $1.30 resistance level, suggests potential for a price breakout if bullish momentum continues to build.
