XRP's Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on CryptoQuant is currently reading near 0.8, signaling that aggressive sell orders are outweighing aggressive buys across exchanges. This comes as XRP price has slid to roughly $0.90, down sharply from its cycle high near $3.3.

Looking back over the past two-plus years of data, the ratio spent most of its time below 1.0 even during XRP's strongest rallies — a reminder that price can trend up without sustained taker-buy dominance. The clearer signal shows up on the downside: red spikes cluster tighter and hit harder during sell-offs, consistent with active distribution rather than a slow drift lower.

Since the taker ratio is coincident rather than predictive, the current 0.8 print confirms existing sell-side pressure rather than forecasting a reversal. Pairing it with funding rates and open interest gives a fuller read on positioning before drawing conclusions.

Bottom line: sellers are currently dominant — but as always, you only lose if you sell.
