$XRP buyers are not in FOMO mode. Price recovered hard from around $1.00 to $1.50, then pulled back to roughly $1.36. The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on Binance is sitting at 0.92. That means aggressive sellers are still outweighing aggressive buyers in the derivatives market, even after the bounce. A rising price with a ratio stuck below 1 is a useful signal. It suggests the move higher has not yet been driven by strong demand from the futures side. Profit-taking or residual short pressure is still present. Market cap tells a similar story. It ran from around $100B toward $150B before settling near $140B. The retracement is real, but XRP remains well above its prior low. The failure to push a clean new high after tagging $1.50 points to fading momentum rather than a full breakdown. Price is now approaching a key short-term decision zone around $1.35–$1.40 inside the Ichimoku structure. Holding this area keeps the recovery intact. Losing it with the taker ratio still below 1 would tilt the short-term bias toward sideways or modestly lower price action. The more constructive signal would be the Taker Buy/Sell Ratio moving back above 1. Historically, that shift has lined up with stronger continuation in XRP. Until that happens, the market is still working through the rebound rather than confirming full buyer control. #BTC Price Analysis# #Altcoin Season#
