🚨 XRP Price Eyes Gains as 71% of Binance Traders Go Long 🚨
XRP value today trades at $2.21 with a slight 0.4% gain in 24 hours. Despite remaining flat, traders on the largest crypto exchange, Binance, continue to place bets that it will extend its gains and possibly break out past the key resistance level of $2.30.
According to data from Coinglass, 71% of traders on Binance have opened long positions on Ripple while only 28% are short sellers. This discrepancy highlights a bullish sentiment towards XRP, as most traders expect the price to go on an upward trend.
This bullish positioning follows a surge in Ripple’s open interest to $3.75 billion. While this may highlight a positive sentiment towards XRP, traders should also be cautious of the liquidation risk that comes with high leverage. As Coingape reported, XRP saw 1000% liquidation imbalance recently after a dip to $2.13 caused the closure of a large number of long positions and triggered sell-side pressure.
