XRP Rises 125,100% In 24 Hours: Here’s What Happened

The cryptocurrency market has experienced substantial liquidations recently, with nearly $50 million in positions wiped out within an hour, as reported by CoinGlass.

Although large-scale liquidations are not uncommon in the highly volatile crypto market, the distribution between long and short positions in this wave of liquidations has caught the attention of many.

An imbalance was evident, with 94.67% of the liquidation volume coming from long positions in the market’s derivatives segment. This meant that while $2.55 million in short positions were liquidated, long position liquidations reached nearly 17 times that amount. For some cryptocurrencies, this ratio was even more extreme.

Long and Short Liquidations

In the case of XRP, the liquidation data revealed a particularly pronounced difference. According to CoinGlass, XRP’s short liquidations during this period amounted to only $776, while long liquidations soared to approximately $971,390.

This translates to an extraordinary imbalance of 125,100%. This disproportionate liquidation activity wasn’t necessarily due to changes in the asset’s price but reflected the high number of traders with long positions on XRP futures.

Price Performance and Market Reaction

While the asset’s price only saw a modest decline of around 1.0% during this period, bullish liquidations reached nearly a million dollars. Despite this relatively minor price drop, the token became one of the most affected assets in terms of liquidation volume.

However, the scale of the imbalance between bullish and bearish liquidations for the token was among the highest in the market, highlighting the market’s sensitivity to bullish positioning on the token.

This steep liquidation imbalance suggests that bullish sentiment in XRP futures may temporarily diminish as traders reassess the market’s current volatility. Although the token’s recent price action has been moderate, the sharp liquidation of long positions could prompt more caution among bullish investors moving forward.

In the coming weeks, the token’s price movement and trader sentiment will determine whether this recent liquidation imbalance marks a temporary market response or an extended shift in positioning within XRP futures. For now, a more cautious approach among XRP bulls appears likely as the asset recovers from this period of high liquidation.
