XRP exhibited an unusual liquidation pattern during a recent one-hour trading period, which stood out across the broader cryptocurrency market.
According to CoinGlass data, total liquidations during that hour reached roughly $128,430. All recorded losses came from long positions. Short liquidations were registered at zero, which is extremely uncommon in active derivatives markets.
This type of reading immediately drew attention because liquidation data normally shows activity on both sides. Even during quiet sessions, it is rare for one side of the market to remain completely untouched. In XRP’s case, the data reflected a clear imbalance in how traders were positioned during that hour.
What the Liquidation Data Reveals
The liquidation snapshot suggests that leverage was concentrated almost entirely on the bullish side of the market. Long traders were exposed enough that even small price movements triggered forced exits. Short sellers, on the other hand, faced no pressure at all.
CoinGlass heat maps showed that other assets displayed standard liquidation patterns around the same time. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and lower-cap tokens all logged losses on both the long and short sides throughout the day. XRP was the exception. Its data showed a clean divide, with longs cleared out while shorts remained unaffected.
XRP Price Action Remains Tight
Despite the liquidation imbalance, XRP’s price remained largely unchanged. The asset traded in a narrow band between $2.19 and $2.20 throughout the period. There was no sharp drop and no strong rebound. Its price movement remained slow and controlled, mirroring its muted performance after the recent ETF launches.

That muted action explains why short positions were not forced out. The market never produced a move strong enough to challenge downside exposure. Instead, slight intraday shifts were enough to remove overleveraged long positions. In this environment, liquidation occurred without volatility. The market reduced risk without changing its overall structure.
XRP Holds Key Support Zone
The $2.2 level has remained a key price area for XRP over recent sessions. Its price stalled repeatedly, and sellers showed limited interest in pushing lower. The absence of short liquidations supports this. It shows low bearish pressure and cautious positioning.
A break above $2.23-$2.25 could drive a fast rise toward $2.30-$2.34, while a drop below $2.17 may open the path to $2.12-$2.14. The recent one-sided liquidation shows that positioning shapes short-term behavior. Any future shift in liquidation patterns could signal a change in sentiment, but for now, the market appears balanced.
