Crypto exchange Bitrue made a bold claim Tuesday: XRP<\/a> is trading at a fraction of where it belongs. With the coin sitting around $1.42, Bitrue put the fair value at $10 \u2014 more than seven times its current price and a market cap that would top $610 billion.<\/p>\n

Derivatives Data Tells A Different Story Than The Price Chart<\/h2>\n

The numbers in the futures market are raising eyebrows. XRP\u2019s open interest climbed to $2.60 billion, a 7% jump in a single day, according to data<\/a> from CoinGlass. That kind of move during a price dip signals something specific: traders are opening new positions, and those positions are leaning long.<\/p>\n

Although the price of $XRP<\/a> is falling, there is no increase in short positions.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, long positions are increasing slightly. There is no downside pressure in the $XRP<\/a> futures market.<\/p>\n

Analysts flagged the pattern. Short positions have not been piling up the way they typically do when a market turns bearish. Instead, traders appear to be buying into the weakness, a sign that many expect a price recovery rather than a continued slide.<\/p>\n

XRP dropped nearly 4% over the past week. But the futures market is not behaving like one bracing for more pain.<\/p>\n

What The Charts Say About Possible Downside<\/h2>\n

Not every analyst is calling a bottom. A separate technical analysis flagged XRP as potentially still inside a corrective pattern \u2014 what Elliott Wave traders call a Wave 2\/5 retracement. Under that reading, the price could briefly push toward $1.51 before pulling back more sharply.<\/p>\n

Key downside levels being watched include $1.12, where a double-bottom formation could take shape, and $0.87, which many traders regard as a strong long-term accumulation zone. Reports indicate some see the current price action as a late-stage shakeout \u2014 a test of conviction before a larger move upward.<\/p>\n

That tension is sitting at the center of XRP\u2019s current moment. The short-term and long-term pictures are not telling the same story.<\/p>\n

XRP: Long-Term Targets Remain In Play Despite Recent Weakness<\/p>\n

Longer-term forecasts for XRP have not shifted. Price targets of $5 and higher \u2014 including the $10 figure Bitrue<\/a> cited \u2014 continue to circulate among analysts and community members.<\/p>\n

Those targets are tied to broader narratives: growing institutional interest, Ripple\u2019s resolved legal standoff with the SEC, and expanding adoption of blockchain-based payment infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Missouri<\/a> recently moved to designate XRP as an official reserve asset \u2014 a step that adds a layer of institutional credibility the coin did not carry a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Reports note that skeptics remain. XRP has a history of slow upward movement punctuated by sharp pullbacks, and even believers in a $10 target acknowledge that significant volatility could accompany any rise toward that level.<\/p>\n

For now, XRP sits in a narrow range<\/a>, down on the week but holding its footing. The derivatives market suggests traders are not walking away. They are waiting.<\/p>\n
