Oh, look at that-traders who thought betting against XRP was a genius move are now questioning life choices. In the last 12 hours, the liquidation imbalance jumped a jaw-dropping 1,278%. Meanwhile, XRP just shrugged and climbed over 4% because apparently, the universe has a sense of humor.
XRP short sellers: ouch, that smarts
According to CoinGlass, $2.63 million evaporated faster than your dignity at a family reunion. XRP’s “bullish recovery” seems to enjoy making people cry quietly in their trading chairs. This comes on the heels of a week of chaos as volatility insists on throwing tantrums.
XRP decided to make a comeback while global trade quietly exhaled. Bitcoin, that overachieving sibling, surged past $71,000 and dragged the altcoins along like a disappointed mother pulling her kids to choir practice.
XRP hopped from $1.30 to a daily peak of $1.39 in 24 hours. Right now, it’s flirting at $1.38-up 5.19%. Trader engagement has spiked 84.06% to $2.93 billion because nothing says “fun” like watching numbers move while your portfolio screams internally.
Even with all this excitement, the market is nervously eyeing the $1.40-$1.42 resistance zone. Will XRP make it? Or is it just teasing like that one friend who promises to help you move but ghosts?
And if the hype fizzles, brace for a retest of the humble $1.30 support.
Meanwhile, long position traders got a tiny slap of $190,830 loss-like being punched gently with a velvet glove.
Fueling the upward frenzy, XRP Tokyo 2026 conference projected $33 trillion in on-chain stablecoin volume by 2026. Investors clutched their spreadsheets and collectively screamed “yes, please.”
Institutions and flashy events keep the hype alive
CoinShares reports institutional investors are suddenly in love with XRP. Out of $224 million pouring into crypto, XRP grabbed a generous $119.6 million. That’s 53% of the action. Cue the dramatic trumpet.
Even funnier, XRP ETFs saw $3.3 million flow in, while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs got the cold shoulder-$159 million and $64 million outflows, respectively. XRP is basically at the cool kids’ table now.
Of course, it’s not all champagne and confetti-average XRP wallets fell to lows unseen since 2022, down a spicy 41%. Somewhere, an investor is quietly crying into their latte.
