TL;DR<\/p>\n
XRP retraced hard after rallying to $3.65, clearing $1.3B in leverage during a healthy market reset.<\/span> Ripple (XRP) reached a fresh peak of $3.65 last week, breaking above its 2018 high. The rally drew attention across the market, but prices have since pulled back to around $3.09.<\/span><\/p>\n Despite a small daily uptick, <\/span>XRP<\/span><\/a> remains down about 14% for the week. According to analyst Dom, this retracement cleared out nearly $1.3 billion in open interest, about 30% of the total. The move is being seen as a typical leverage reset after a sharp run-up.<\/span><\/p>\n $XRP<\/a> update<\/p>\n The overall market saw a healthy flushout to wipe some of the leverage that built up over the last 2 weeks<\/p>\n This pullback wiped out nearly 30% of all open interest on XRP (1.3B)<\/p>\n This chart from last week shows a perfect retest of the \u201clast major level to flip\u201d<\/p>\n As\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/3nu8oAunvu<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dom (@traderview2) July 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Consequently, the drop brought XRP back to test a vital zone near $3.00. This area had previously acted as resistance and now appears to be a support line. Volume around this level remains thick, suggesting strong buyer activity.<\/span><\/p>\n Dom noted that the 1-month VWAP is holding near $2.86, while the 3-month VWAP sits lower at $2.57. Both levels can be supportive in case the price continues to slide down. Currently, traders have the $2.80 range as the critical closing level, which, should it be broken, could shift the short-term trend.<\/span><\/p>\n On the daily timeframe, both XRP\/USD and XRP\/BTC printed Dragonfly Doji candles. The pattern is typical of reversals or precedes new moves. Analyst CryptoWZRD <\/span>states<\/span><\/a> that the configuration remains constructive as long as the momentum remains positive on the next trend.<\/span><\/p>\n He\u2019s eyeing a potential push back to $3.30, then $3.65, and possibly $4.60 if resistance levels break. Lower timeframes are also being tracked for short-term trades, with $3.18 as the level to watch for a breakout toward $3.40.<\/span><\/p>\n A large XRP sell-off on the Korean exchange Upbit <\/span>added<\/span><\/a> to the recent volatility. Around 75 million XRP was sold in a short span, overwhelming the buy side and sending the price down roughly 15%.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the move triggered around $90 million in liquidations of long positions. With volume now lower and price hovering near key support, the next few days could determine whether buyers step back in or the trend weakens below $2.80.<\/span><\/p>\n The post XRP\u2019s Sharp Drop: A \u2018Healthy Reset\u2019 or Start of Deeper Trouble?<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" TL;DR XRP retraced hard after rallying to $3.65, clearing $1.3B in leverage during a healthy market reset.
