XRP long bets rise, analyst says it is too early to call a bottom signal
XRP has seen buying positions increase even as the broader market falls, raising concerns about near-term volatility. The trend is increasing the risk of a long squeeze, as estimated leverage rose while the price declined. Funding rates stayed mostly negative, but XRP failed to mount a clear rebound. An analyst said low volatility and high leverage could trigger a sharp move, with downside risk heavier, and that clearer bottom signals have yet to appear.
