### Analysis of XRP Movement for Today

**XRP shows signs of consolidation after a sharp increase.** Over the past 24 hours, the price fluctuated between 3.1840 and 3.3337, reaching a peak of 3.3337 at 16:00 UTC. After that, a pullback was observed, and at the time of the last hour, the price decreased to 3.1850. This indicates that after a strong impulse, buyers are temporarily losing control, while sellers are intensifying pressure.

**Increased interest from the futures market supports volatility.** The trading volume of XRP futures rose by 208% over the day, and open interest increased to $5.9 billion (+15%), indicating an accumulation of positions, especially long ones. Meanwhile, the conclusion of a four-year legal battle between Ripple and the SEC for $125 million has become a key positive catalyst, removing legal uncertainty. However, the rise in open interest amid a correction may increase the risk of mass liquidations if further declines occur.

There is also interest from institutional players — DWP Management raised $200 million in XRP for a digital fund. At the same time, a case involving a large account on Binance that incurred losses of over $6 million due to a short position is noted.
