$11 million in $XRP longs got liquidated in that sell-off, turning support into extra selling pressure that caught a lot of people off guard.
Traders often pile into leveraged longs thinking they've found the bottom, then get liquidated as the move continues and they lose the capital they were trying to grow. The hope of a quick bounce is what gets most in trouble here.
Those automatic closes dumped $11M of $XRP into the order books. That extra supply added to the downward momentum and made holding that support even harder.
It's a feedback loop where one wave of liquidations invites the next. You can see how $BTC absorbs these better due to liquidity, while $ETH has had similar long squeezes in past dumps.
This is why overleveraging can turn a dip into a disaster if you're not prepared for the cascade.
What's your take on where $XRP goes from here?
