$3 Level Poses Risk for Short Traders<\/h2>\n

Market analyst CW has pointed out that if XRP climbs to $3, a large number of short positions could be wrecked. A heatmap of liquidity shows heavy concentration at that level, suggesting it may act as a trigger point for forced closures. Such a move could create rapid upward momentum if shorts are squeezed out.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the moment, <\/span>XRP<\/span><\/a> is trading below that mark, fluctuating between $2.85 and $2.95. The $2.90\u2013$2.95 area has formed as near-term resistance. A clean break above this zone would put $3.00 back in play and raise the risk of a liquidation wave.<\/span><\/p>\n

XRP is priced at $2.87 with a daily trading volume of $4.67 billion. It has fallen 1% over the past 24 hours and is down 8% in the last seven days. Trading activity remains strong, keeping Ripple\u2019s token among the most liquid assets in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n

On-chain figures show larger players have been active. Institutional-sized flows pushed XRP turnover to 155 million during recovery sessions, well above the 63 million daily average. This increase suggests steady participation even as prices are corrected.<\/span><\/p>\n

Profit Taking by Long-Term Holders<\/h2>\n

Glassnode data <\/span>shows<\/span><\/a> long-term holders have been locking in gains. Realized profits topped $2 billion during the recent pullback, pointing to heavy distribution into consolidation phases.<\/span><\/p>\n

This pattern is not new for XRP. On July 24, profit-taking spiked to $375 million as the token peaked near $3.55. That event led to a 10% daily drop, the sharpest single-day decline in more than three months. Current activity suggests a similar positioning as the price hovers below $3.<\/span><\/p>\n

Technical Indicators and Ripple Update<\/h2>\n

Analyst Ali Martinez noted that the TD Sequential indicator has turned bullish on XRP\u2019s hourly chart. The same signal correctly <\/span>identified<\/span><\/a> the peak at $3.65 in July. Its latest reading suggests the potential for a short-term rebound.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the same time, market pressure has weighed on digital assets, with $360 million liquidated across the sector in recent days. XRP has continued to attract buyers at support levels, showing resilience despite the broader selloff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Separately, Ripple Labs has <\/span>confirmed<\/span><\/a> a new agreement with Japanese financial group SBI Holdings. Under the memorandum, SBI VC Trade will begin distributing Ripple\u2019s stablecoin RLUSD in Japan starting in the first quarter of 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n
