• XRP funding printed 0.0100% median across nine exchanges and 0.0102% OI-weighted across 18 on November 5.

• COINOTAG scored resistance at $1.3477 at 100/100 and support at $1.2915 at 64/100.

• Perp funding on COINOTAG's aggregate read 0.0071%, with 74.1% of tracked accounts long at a 2.85 ratio.

Two 8-Hour Readings, Both Positive

XRP has spent the recent sessions pinned inside a sideways range rather than a directional run, and the derivatives tape around the token has stayed consistent with that structure. The XRP price stood at $1.31 in live monitoring on Thursday, up 2.5% over the past 24 hours, while funding on perpetual futures held to the positive side of zero in every aggregate published during the day. Derivatives data compiled across venues showed a median 8-hour funding rate of 0.0100% over a nine-exchange sample as of 06:30 UTC, seven of those venues positive; a separate open-interest-weighted calculation covering 18 exchanges put the same 8-hour measure at 0.0102% at 08:22 UTC, 17 of the 18 positive. Funding is the periodic cost exchanged between the two sides of such a position, so a positive rate means leveraged longs pay shorts within the sampled venues; it measures stance, not spot demand, and it fixes no direction for the next move. Inside a sideways tape, a steadily positive funding sign describes a market that stays net long even while price goes nowhere, a stance that leaves the paying side exposed if the range finally gives way. The two aggregates also differ in timing and construction, one a plain median across nine venues and the other weighted by open interest across 18, so the step from 0.0100% to 0.0102% cannot be read as funding rising through the interval; the figures agree in sign, not in method. A third figure in circulation during the session, 0.0103%, arrived with no disclosed sample or timestamp and cannot be compared with either aggregate. An earlier print on the technical page behind this desk's coverage showed $1.3119 at 07:58 UTC, with the daily candlestick RSI at 49.1; the exchange and trading pair behind that chart were not stated, which is one more reason venue-specific derivatives figures and chart readings cannot be folded into a single basis.

COINOTAG's composite support and resistance scoring, which grades each level from 0 to 100, frames the same range with harder edges: resistance at $1.3477, where the upper Bollinger band and the 50-day EMA converge, scored 100 out of 100, while the nearest support at $1.2915 scored 64 out of 100. Trend classification is sideways, RSI prints 49.31 and the MACD signal stays bullish. Positioning agrees in sign but not in size: our perp funding aggregate reads 0.0071%, positive like the published samples but smaller, with the gap one of sample and interval rather than direction, and the long/short account ratio stands at 2.85, meaning 74.1% of tracked accounts hold longs even as price itself fails to trend. Bitcoin's 68% share of the roughly $2.37 trillion tracked cap keeps the wider tape's weight elsewhere.

Divergent Chart Reads, One Sideways State

The session's published chart work disagrees on detail while agreeing on the broader state. One daily reading placed XRP above $1.32 earlier in the day and described a push through the upper boundary of a falling channel, listing moving averages at $1.323 for the 100-day, $1.335 for the 50-day and $1.378 for the 200-day; live monitoring has since put the token back at $1.31, below that 100-day line. The same reading carried a daily RSI of 51 against the 49.1 recorded at 07:58 UTC; both sit near the neutral 50 line, and with different timestamps and chart conditions behind them, neither figure invalidates the other, and neither describes momentum so much as its absence. A long/short ratio of 0.97 also circulated in that commentary, but the aggregation basis, whether it counts accounts, top-trader accounts or position sizes, was left unstated, so it cannot be read as shorts outnumbering longs market-wide. On-chain context sits outside these derivatives reads altogether: whale withdrawals from Binance that pushed the withdrawal gap to 98.4%, a two-year high, and a 627% monthly jump in the daily ledger burn describe supply and settlement behavior rather than funding. The wider altcoin tape, where Bitcoin still sets the tone, has offered little directional help of its own. Readers who want the full level map behind the scores above will find it on our XRP technical analysis page. A decisive break back under the channel, or a flip of the funding sign across samples, would be the first real evidence the state is changing. What none of the day's readings changed is the condition that has held through every print: the sideways range itself, with funding still charging longs, price still short of the $1.32 channel line it only just cleared, and no source on the day claiming the state has turned.
