XRP’s Wild Ride: Will $67M Short Bets Send It Crashing? 🎢💸

by

Well, folks, it seems XRP, that sprightly token from Ripple Labs, has taken a tumble, much like its cousins Bitcoin and Ethereum. The market’s been as stable as a one-legged stool, but XRP’s holding on like a stubborn mule, hinting it might not fall further. Or so they say. 🤔

On March 20, 2025, the market decided to throw a tantrum, and XRP took a 4% nosedive, landing at a critical support level. Now, whether it bounces back or keeps sinking is anyone’s guess. It’s like watching a soap opera, but with more numbers and less drama. 📉

Experts, those ever-so-wise sages, claim XRP recently broke out of a bullish pattern but hit a wall of resistance. Thanks to the market’s mood swings, it’s now retesting the breakout level at $2.40, cozying up to the 200 EMA on the four-hour chart. Cozy, isn’t it? 🛋️

If XRP can keep its head above $2.38, it might just bounce back and aim for $3.50. But if it slips below $2.38 and stays there for a four-hour candle, it could drop 13% to $2.05. It’s like a high-stakes game of limbo—how low can it go? 🕺

Currently, XRP is sitting at $2.42, down 4% in the last 24 hours. Trading volume’s down 20%, as investors are more cautious than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. 🐱

Intraday traders are betting on the short side, riding the market trend like cowboys on a bucking bronco. Despite the bullish breakout and price retest, they’re all in, according to on-chain analytics firm Coinglass. Yeehaw! 🤠

Data shows traders are over-leveraged at $2.40, with $26 million in long positions. Meanwhile, at $2.54, they’ve placed $67 million in short positions. It’s a bearish sentiment, folks, and the price might just consolidate around this level. It’s like watching a tug-of-war, but with money. 💰
