Reports indicate that if momentum picks up, some traders are projecting a move toward the $1.76 to $2 range for XRP sometime in June.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/xrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XRP<\/a> itself posted a 2.50% gain in the past 24 hours, though it remains down 2.50% over the last seven days and about 5% over the past month. The price was last seen hovering near the $1.23 to $1.30 liquidity zone on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/xrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Coinbase<\/a>\u2018s spot market.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">$XRP<\/a> orderbook on Coinbase is still heavily skewed towards bids (nearly 7x on the large bands)<\/p>\n<p>Now this doesn\u2019t automatically mean \u201cprice go up\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But it does mean it\u2019s much easier to move price meaningfully up then down<\/p>\n<p>The book is simply intentions.

According to Dom, a heatmap of Coinbase\u2019s XRP order book shows <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/traderview2\/status\/2060113980601852379\/photo\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">buy orders<\/a> stacked heavily below the current price, with sell orders above appearing far smaller by comparison.<\/p>\n<p>He put the difference at roughly seven times \u2014 meaning buy-side depth dwarfs whatever selling pressure currently sits above. Dom was clear that order books reflect trader intentions and not guaranteed price outcomes, but he said the data still carries weight.<\/p>\n<p>He pointed to a 2025 Bitcoin call where similar order book readings supported his bearish view before BTC fell around 30%. The implication is that when the data lines up, it tends to mean something.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the discussion, reports note that new wallets on <a href=\"https:\/\/app.hyperliquid.xyz\/trade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyperliquid<\/a> have been opening large XRP long positions using 20x leverage, with some bets running into the millions of dollars. That kind of activity has fueled further chatter about a potential move higher.<\/p>\n<p>Watching For A Breakout<\/p>\n<p>XRP\u2019s market structure, according to Dom, suggests the path of least resistance leans upward under current conditions. Less buying pressure would be needed to push the price higher than it would take selling pressure to drag it sharply lower.<\/p>\n<p>Whether that plays out depends on whether broader market sentiment shifts. For now, traders are watching both the Coinbase order book and XLM\u2019s momentum for clues on what XRP does next.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Westend61\/Getty Images, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traders watching Stellar\u2019s 40% weekly surge are now turning their attention to XRP, asking whether the older and larger token could be next.
