XRP has spent weeks moving within a tight range, showing little urgency on the surface. However, price action is often hidden from regular investors until pressure reaches a critical point.
A new liquidation heatmap shared by Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto) suggests that XRP’s liquidity buildup is no longer subtle.
Liquidity above the current price is increasing again, and traders positioning against a move higher now face a growing risk. Although the market appears quiet, conditions are tightening.

What the Chart Reveals About XRP
Steph Is Crypto posted a Binance liquidation heatmap covering a multi-month window. The chart highlights a dense liquidity band centered near $3. That zone stands out clearly when compared to the surrounding levels. The analyst noted that this liquidity cluster is expanding again, and a decisive move could push XRP far above this level.
Liquidation heatmaps visualize where leveraged positions are concentrated. Bright zones represent price levels where large pools of liquidations sit. These zones often act as magnets during periods of rising volatility. As more traders place shorts below resistance, the size of potential forced buy orders grows as the price pushes upward.
The chart shows XRP trading well below the $3 level while liquidity continues to build above. This imbalance matters, as markets tend to move toward liquidity during decisive moves. When that liquidity grows over time, the pressure increases.

Short-Term Outlook as Pressure Builds
In the short term, the expanding cluster raises the probability of a sharp reaction if XRP approaches $3. A break into that zone could trigger a cascade of liquidations. Forced buying would add momentum, potentially pushing XRP above the liquidity cluster close to $3.6.
Steph Is Crypto emphasized the speed such moves can carry. He stated that XRP will move fast after clearing this liquidity cluster. Liquidation-driven moves often unfold quickly, leaving little room for late positioning. However, until XRP challenges that area, it may continue to consolidate.
Sideways action allows liquidity to expand further. Each day spent below resistance adds weight to the setup. If XRP clears the zone with strength, it could reset the market structure. Analysts have predicted a legendary breakout for the asset. If it experiences a decisive move, liquidity above $3 would thin, and price discovery would resume at higher levels.
