Crypto: Market Is Xrp Price Setting Up For A 20% Bounce In March? 2026

A convincing bullish reversal setup and hints of easing whale distribution may push the price of XRP up by 20% or more in March.

XRP (XRP) is down more than 50% since October 2025, with five consecutive monthly losses. Can March finally snap the bearish streak?

XRP’s double-bottom setup targets 20% upside in March.

Whale selling has cooled and larger-holder balances are rising, improving the bullish outlook.

As of Thursday, XRP was forming what appeared to be a double bottom pattern after holding the $1.30–$1.35 support area twice in February.

A double bottom forms when the price hits the same floor twice an rebounds. It resolves on a breakout above the neckline, often setting an upside target equal to the pattern’s height from the breakout level.

For XRP, the neckline sits near $1.50. A decisive break above it increases the odds of XRP rising to $1.68–$1.70 by March, roughly 20% above the current levels.

XRP net flows are shrinking toward neutral levels after spending months in distribution phase, according to data resource CryptoQuant.

As of Thursday, the total whale flow on a 90-day moving average was around -3.29 million XRP compared to roughly -33.50 million XRP in December. This shows that whale outflows have substantially decreased despite the 25% price drop in the same period.

At the same time, XRP supply held by wallets with at least 1,000 tokens has resumed its upward trajectory in recent weeks, suggesting that whales have stopped selling and may be re-accumulating near current lows.
