#CryptoIn401k $XRP Something big is brewing in XRP futures.
In the last 24 hours, futures volume exploded +208% to $12.4B, overtaking #Solana’s $9.6B.
Open Interest is Up +15% to $5.9B, that’s serious capital parked in the trade.
But here’s the catch 👇
Funding is positive, meaning longs are paying shorts. The crowd is leaning heavily bullish.
That’s fine when price moves in their favor but it’s a setup that can flip ugly if the market turns.
I’ve seen this pattern before:
1. Hype kicks in
2. Price grinds up
3. Liquidity builds on the downside
4. One sharp move wipes overleveraged longs
Does this mean I’m bearish $XRP here? Not exactly.
Momentum is strong, and breaking above $3.40 could easily send it higher in the short term.
But my play?
No chasing green candles here.
I’d rather let the market force those longs to sweat.
If we get a healthy pullback into a strong support zone, that’s where I’d scale in for a continuation play.
Until then, I’m watching liquidation clusters.
With $5.9B in OI and a market that loves to punish the majority, risk management > FOMO.
Sometimes the smartest move is to let the overleveraged crowd be the liquidity and you be the patient buyer.
