XRP Long Positioning Reaches Two-to-One Ratio Amid Reduced Exchange Inflows

Derivatives data shows XRP buyers outnumbering sellers by more than two to one, creating liquidation risks even as major holders pause exchange transfers.

· +3

Data from the Bitrue Research Institute indicates that the XRP long-to-short ratio reached 2.32, with taker buy volume standing at approximately 68 percent. This heavy concentration in leveraged long positions creates the risk of cascading liquidations if the token price drops below recent support levels, particularly after XRP declined from $1.43 on 11 October to around $1.38 on 12 October.

Conversely, on-chain metrics show that large holders have ceased transferring significant token volumes to cryptocurrency exchanges, signaling a pause in selling from major wallets. XRP traded around $1.39 as of 12 October 2026, reflecting a 7 percent weekly decline against a 40 percent gain over the prior 60 days.

Bitrue analysts observed that while price volatility remains elevated, underlying momentum indicators sit in neutral territory. A senior analyst at the firm indicated that the market could test the $1.35 to $1.38 range before establishing a sustained rebound.

These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
