XRP’s biggest risk right now may not be the direction it’s the leverage behind the move.
On Binance, roughly 2 accounts were betting long on XRP for every 1 short. Among top traders, the ratio was closer to 3:1.
Meanwhile, XRP futures did around $6.4B in 24 hour volume versus only ~$1.2B on spot, with open interest around $3.45B.
That difference caught my attention.
When so much activity sits in leveraged futures, a normal pullback can become something bigger. Long positions can get liquidated, forced selling pushes price lower, and that can trigger even more liquidations.
XRP already dropped nearly 5% to $1.44 after trading above $1.50.
So I’m wondering:
Is this bullish positioning showing confidence or creating the fuel for a sharper correction?
