XRP Shorts Wiped Out in Surprise Rally – What Just Happened on Binance?
#XRP In a surprising twist on Binance and other major derivatives platforms, XRP has just flipped the script. While the broader market saw over $337 million in total liquidations, XRP stood out with a $415,610 liquidation volume in just one hour—and almost all of it hit short positions.
Data shows that $414,800 worth of shorts were liquidated, compared to just $812.87 in longs. That’s a staggering 51,000% imbalance, hinting at a wave of wrongly placed bearish bets that got wiped out as XRP surged past $2.98 after briefly dipping below $2.95.
This kind of move typically indicates a forced short squeeze, catching traders off guard while attention was elsewhere—mainly on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Meanwhile, XRP’s clean technical reset and low slippage suggest something bigger could be brewing.
With most traders expecting a breakdown, XRP did the opposite—and Binance traders felt the heat first.
