XRP: Bullish sentiment but price under pressure, smart money's contrary bets hold hidden clues

XRP is currently priced at $1.13, down 0.94% in the last 24 hours, testing intraday low support. The daily price range has dropped from $1.16 to $1.13, showing a weak short-term trend. Notably, this $70 billion market cap giant has a daily trading volume of only about $2.438 million, indicating a very low turnover rate, which means a lot of tokens are locked up and market liquidity is relatively scarce.

On the social sentiment front, there's an interesting divide: bullish voices make up 58%, far exceeding the bearish 14%, but the overall sentiment remains neutral (+0.44), suggesting that while the bulls are dominant, overall confidence isn't solid. It ranks 74th in popularity, with retail interest sitting in the mid-tier, neither hot nor cold.

Most noteworthy is the smart money signal—8 traders forming a net long consensus with a long/short ratio of 62%, net positions around $246,000. The average long entry price of $1.17 is above the current price, indicating that smart money is currently at a loss but hasn't cut losses and exited. The short entry price of $1.14 is right at the market price, with short cost lines very close.

In summary, XRP faces short-term price pressure, but the contrary long behavior of smart money is worth watching—if the $1.13 support holds up, combined with the bullish tendency in sentiment, a rebound could occur. The key is whether smart money can maintain their positions despite being underwater.
