Influencer alleges organized manipulation behind recent XRP price patterns

XRP community influencer Arthur has alleged that recent price movements in the token are the result of organized manipulation, The Crypto Basic reported. He claimed that a pattern has emerged eight or nine times since February where XRP rallies to a key resistance level before the U.S. stock market opens, only to drop sharply immediately after. Arthur noted that despite positive news, including multi-billion dollar mergers and acquisitions and ETF inflows, XRP remains roughly 44% below its recent high and faces strong selling pressure on every breakout attempt. While some interpret this activity as profit-taking and liquidity shifts coinciding with the U.S. market open, Arthur countered that the pattern is too precise and repetitive to be a coincidence.
