📊 CME XRP open interest jumped nearly 40% in just one week.
What caught my attention is the positioning behind it.
Leveraged funds more than doubled their net short exposure to 115.7M XRP, while dealers and asset managers continued adding longs.
That creates an interesting setup.
If XRP keeps moving higher, short sellers may eventually have to buy back their positions to exit — potentially adding more fuel to the rally.
But crowded shorts alone don't guarantee a squeeze. XRP still needs sustained buying pressure.
The next move could reveal whether these shorts are early… or dangerously trapped. 👀
