While $BTC has been struggling near $63.7K, XRP derivatives positioning is quietly getting crowded: XRP futures open interest has climbed to its highest level since October ahead of today’s U.S. CPI reaction.
That matters because heavy leverage can turn an ordinary price move into something violent.
If XRP breaks higher with real spot volume, shorts could get squeezed fast. But if CPI pushes risk assets lower, crowded longs become liquidation fuel.
👀 What I’m watching next: XRP spot volume versus futures positioning. The side that gets trapped could power the next big candle.
Which comes first — XRP short squeeze or long liquidation flush? 👇
