🚨 XRP: Calm Before the Storm? 🚨

After rejecting $3.50, $XRP has been consolidating in a narrow range between $3.00–$3.20. But don’t let the sideways action fool you — under the surface, something’s building. 👀

📈 Open Interest hit an all-time high of $3.9B on Binance before cooling to $3.08B. That’s massive speculative capital pouring in — and when OI rises without major price action, it’s often the setup for a liquidation-driven move. 🔄

📉 More shorts than longs: Long/Short ratio is now 0.96. Nearly 51% of traders are betting against XRP. Is this bearish conviction… or short squeeze bait? 🧨

🏦 Exchange netflows remain positive — a signal of increased selling. If demand doesn't catch up, bulls could struggle to push past $3.20. But if inflows persist into Futures, we might see a squeeze that traps the shorts and sends XRP back to $3.5+ fast. 💥

📊 TL;DR:

— Market is coiled tight

— Sentiment leans bearish

— But setups like this often snap hard

Breakout or breakdown? Stay sharp. 🎯
