🚀 $XRP /USDT: Large capital pressure on the exit
📈 Current situation: The XRP token shows a local slowdown in growth around $1.38 (+5.54%), significantly lagging behind the parabolic rally of the rest of the altcoin market. The main negative driver is large-scale distribution of the asset. Net outflows from the coin over the past day totaled -$10.65M, while big players (“whales”) dumped a net -5.45M XRP.
⚠️ Red flags: The futures market is highly overheated: the funding rate has settled at a high level of 0.01000%, forcing long holders to overpay to keep positions. Open interest (OI) remains elevated around $458.5M, but it has stopped growing. At the same time, the retail long/short ratio by accounts has fallen to 2.37, indicating that retail is still blindly buying the highs while whales are exiting positions.
🔮 Forecast: Buying at market on these highs is extremely risky due to a strong outflow of “smart money.” A local false breakout upward is expected following Bitcoin to the $1.40–$1.42 range to collect stop-losses. After that, overloaded long funding will trigger a technical pullback to retest support levels around $1.32–$1.28.
