XRP, the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple ecosystem, is experiencing a marked bullish phase. On June 30, the XRP/USD pair jumped by 5%, supported by a spectacular trading volume of 3.3 billion dollars. Behind this surge lies a massive renewal of investor interest, with nearly 75% of long positions on derivative products.
Analysis of XRP derivatives data indeed reveals an explosion in open interest, which now reaches 1.7 billion dollars. This momentum is accompanied by a record trading volume of 3.3 billion dollars in 24 hours, a significant increase compared to previous days.
These are signs of powerful speculative momentum, driven by traders’ conviction that Ripple will continue its upward trajectory in the short term. Notably, 75% of open positions are currently bullish (“long”), a level rarely reached.
What’s striking about this XRP movement is that it occurs without an immediate fundamental catalyst. Neither regulatory announcements nor major Ripple-related news justify this surge. Analysts therefore see it as a purely technical rally, guided by market signals rather than fundamentals.
However, this context creates significant room for maneuver. In the event of positive regulatory news – such as the approval of an ETF indexed to XRP in the United States – the market could experience another violent acceleration. The current momentum thus seems self-sustaining, fueled by a virtuous circle of buying.
Despite this short-term optimism, the ultra-bullish position of the majority of the market carries risks. In the event of a trend reversal or massive profit-taking by whales, XRP could undergo a brutal correction, exacerbated by leverage effects.
Analysts thus remain vigilant about liquidity movements, particularly significant transfers to the Coinbase platform. They are also monitoring regulatory developments, which could favorably or unfavorably impact the price of Ripple.
Currently at 2.21 dollars, XRP climbed to 2.32 dollars overnight. Volatility remains high as Bitcoin fails to break through 109,000 dollars. Notably, XRP failed to break through the Ichimoku cloud on the daily chart.
In the short term, XRP could fall back to 2.11 or down to 2.04 dollars if BTC continues its correction in the coming days.
