XRP traded lower near $1.39 as short positions multiplied and funding rates turned negative.

· -5

XRP traded around $1.392 on Thursday, down more than 2% for the week as bearish sentiment emerged across derivative and on-chain indicators. CryptoQuant reported signs of overheating and sell-side dominance in both the futures and spot markets.

Derivatives positioning showed growing pessimism, with XRP's long-to-short ratio dropping to 0.83 on Tuesday, its lowest level in a month. The funding rate also slipped to -0.0012% by Thursday, indicating that short traders were paying longs to maintain their positions.

Despite the decline, the asset remained above its 50-, 100-, and 200-day exponential moving averages, positioned between $1.244 and $1.354. Immediate support sits at the 200-day EMA near $1.354, followed by $1.300 and the lower moving averages, while the Relative Strength Index held in the mid-50s and MACD remained below zero.

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.
