XRP Just Slipped Back to $1.42 - But ETF Demand Is Telling a Different Story $XRP dropped toward $1.42 after a sharp derivatives unwind wiped out more than $20M in long positions. But while leveraged traders were getting flushed, XRP ETFs recorded their strongest daily inflow in more than seven months. Here's what actually happened: 🔹 XRP spot ETFs pulled in $28.14M on August 26, pushing total fund inflows close to $1.62B 🔹 More than $20M in long positions were liquidated as XRP pulled back from its recent run toward $1.70 🔹 $BTC traders are also watching XRP’s $1.40 level as open interest remains above $3.4B The number I can't ignore: net buyer volume fell to -$96M, showing how quickly derivatives pressure turned against the rally. That doesn't automatically mean XRP's uptrend is broken - ETF demand is still strong and $1.40 remains intact for now. But with leverage this crowded, another move lower could trigger more forced selling. If buyers defend $1.40, XRP could still make another run toward the $1.60-$1.70 area. XRP is sitting at a key level now. The bigger question is whether ETF demand can absorb the leverage-driven selling. #XRP #BTC Price Analysis# #Bitcoin Price Prediction: What is Bitcoins next move?#
