Derivatives Desks Flush Leveraged Longs
XRP slid 1.81% to trade at $1.16 on Monday morning after derivative traders swallowed a brutal 3,090% liquidation imbalance across major centralized order books. According to analytics compiled by Coinglass, long positions accounted for $9.27M of the total $9.57M wipeout over a 24-hour trading window. Short positions absorbed a minuscule $299,997 in forced closures while spot trading volume collapsed 44.7% over the same interval.
That cascade tracked a broader market drawdown originally triggered by a sudden Bitcoin reversal. Open interest for the asset edged up 1.4% to rest at $1.37B. Order book telemetry showed that rising open interest failed to reflect fresh bullish exposure. Market participants lacked the necessary spot liquidity to drive an immediate price recovery across exchange order books.
Binance Bears Heavy Squeeze Impact
Exchange-level order books monitored by CoinGlass showed that long positions accounted for 95.54% of daily losses worth $16.01M out of a total $16.75M. Short sellers faced minimal exposure, sustaining just $746K in losses during the squeeze. Binance absorbed the heaviest impact among global trading venues.
Leveraged positions totaling $8.06M were forcibly liquidated on the platform as more than 3,600 traders globally lost their full account deposits. Margin calls triggered automated sell orders that cascaded down the order book and drove the daily RSI down to 33.21.
Technical Indicators Signal Further Risk
TradingView price charts revealed that the asset dropped below both the 50-day EMA and the 100-day EMA overhead resistance lines. The daily RSI printed at 33.21 while the MFI hovered near oversold territory. Technical charts maintained by Coinglass analysts point to $1.15 as the absolute final threshold defending a slide toward the $1.00 psychological marker.
Losing that defense line threatens to trigger a fresh liquidation cascade across derivative venues. Immediate resistance stands firmly at $1.20. Market makers require a decisive close above that ceiling to validate any shift in near-term momentum.
