XRP Traders Hit Hard: $11.84M Liquidated as Market Takes Unexpected Turn

• XRP sees massive liquidation imbalance, with $10.37M from long positions.
• XRP price dips to $2.96, then stabilizes around $2.99.
• Liquidation trend continues as traders adjust positions amid volatile market.

XRP traders were caught off guard as the market took a sharp turn, leading to massive liquidations. Over the past 24 hours, a staggering $11.84 million worth of XRP positions were liquidated, with $10.37 million coming from long positions and just $1.46 million from shorts. This massive imbalance shows how traders were over-leveraged prior to the abrupt change in price.

The liquidation rates of XRP are impressive compared to those of the broader crypto market. Although Ethereum experienced $108.5 million in liquidations and Bitcoin experienced $37.7 million, XRP’s lower dollar value is not compared to the huge 710% gap between long and short liquidations. This sharp contrast indicates a market that is strongly tilted to long positions, and this was taken aback when the price fluctuated.

If the price fails to maintain this level, the liquidation trend could continue, leaving traders scrambling to adjust their positions.
