XRP derivatives market is severely deleveraging, and bulls suffer massive liquidation
The XRP derivatives market is experiencing rapid and significant deleveraging, and buyers with long positions-who thought the rally would continue-face huge risks. The loss imbalance between buyers and sellers has reached an alarming ratio of nearly 29:1, with the vast majority of forced liquidations hitting the bullish camp.
The decline in the currency price caused heavy losses to bulls
According to CoinGlass, the total liquidation of XRP in the past 24 hours reached US$9.93 million. Of this,$9.6 million came from leveraged long positions, while short positions lost only $330,620. The gap between the two sides is as high as 2809%, which fully demonstrates the extent to which bulls use excessive leverage.
Although XRP had previously traded smoothly around US$1.037, and the subsequent moderate decline in the broader cryptocurrency market, the rout still occurred. In the same 24 hours, the entire cryptocurrency market experienced more than $199 million in liquidations, increasing pressure on multiple assets, including XRP.
Buyers who were heavily exposed through leverage were caught off guard, and even if the XRP price fell by only 2.2%, it triggered a chain liquidation. Forced liquidations led to a rapid and abnormal market imbalance, a scale that is extremely rare under normal trading conditions.
Strong spot demand emerged after briefly falling to a local low of $1.014. As large investors entered the market to buy assets from clearing traders, prices rebounded in a V-shaped manner and quickly recovered to the $1.040 mark. This suggests that the market has the ability to absorb sudden liquidations, especially when major players believe there is a chance to obtain discounted tokens.
Short squeeze dynamics and market recovery
The initial sell-off triggered a chain reaction. As XRP prices fell, leveraged traders faced liquidation notices, leading to automatic selling, further exacerbating downward pressure. This domino effect adds to the pressure on remaining leveraged positions.
Later in the day, a new wave of profit-taking emerged, pulling XRP back to $1.0307. Although the correction follows a rapid rebound, it highlights the continued market volatility as traders adjust for reset leverage levels.
Market cleansing operations have removed speculative bubbles and created a healthier price structure in the medium term. Buyers now face a key task: holding the key psychological threshold of $1.0300 to avoid reigniting forced liquidations.
Market analysts believe that maintaining stability above this level is crucial to restoring confidence and re-establishing momentum for buyers who have been recently squeezed out or liquidated.
As the XRP market enters a recalibration period, volatility remains high, and traders and investors are reassessing their positions after a recent wash.
