Question is why so many people long XRP? Looks like a good short for me. They like to ride the green wave I guess.

XRP and XLM have both been pumping recently—but their long/short ratios tell a very different story.

Why are traders taking such contrasting positions on two tokens with similar price action? Let’s dive in.

Here’s the long/short data:

XRP/USDT
💎 Long/Short Ratio: 2.79
✅ Long Orders: 73.6%
❌ Short Orders: 26.4%

XLM/USDT
💎 Long/Short Ratio: 0.78
✅ Long Orders: 43.93%
❌ Short Orders: 56.07%

Despite both tokens showing strong pumps recently, traders seem far more bullish on XRP, while XLM is leaning towards more short positions.

What’s driving this divergence?
➡️ Different levels of confidence in fundamentals?
➡️ XLM overheated after the massive surge?
➡️ Sentiment shifts?
