XRP broke below the lower end of the recent 20-period 5m range over this 15m move. Volume was 2.05x, the taker buy/sell ratio was 0.72, and the taker volume delta was -16%. OI edged down on both the 1h and 15m timeframes, with notional changes of -5.47M / -4.14M USDT.
Price down + OI down looks more like long deleveraging or stop-losses being triggered, rather than a major influx of new shorts. However, the OI anomaly percentile is 97.6%, ranking #5 for anomalies across the entire pool and #5 for notional change. This trend has persisted across multiple timeframes, so there may be something to this move. 24h trading volume is 989.52M USDT, so liquidity is sufficient. Keep an eye on it—don't rush to buy the dip.
