- XRP faces intense bearish/bullish battle as $7M leveraged short positions clash with Binance's $8.4B futures inflows, creating $3.4B open interest. - Technical analysis highlights $2.50 pivot level with Fibonacci targets at $2.77-$3.10 if bulls break resistance, while breakdown risks $1.94. - Ripple's $500M funding at $40B valuation and Mastercard partnership fuel debate over XRP's intrinsic value vs. $87.5B escrow-linked worth. - Macro risks including Trump tariff ruling uncertainty and potential XRP ET

The

market is currently witnessing a battle between bulls and bears, as traders prepare for a possible blow-off top amid converging technical signals and macroeconomic factors. A recently established wallet has taken out $7 million in leveraged short bets against XRP and , . This account, with more than $110 million in total exposure, is speculating that XRP will dip below $2.80 and BTC will fall under $108,768. Data from CoinGlass reveals a 49.2% tilt toward short positions, with Hyperliquid responsible for $37.8 million in liquidations, 66% of which affected shorts.

At the same time,

points out that Binance traders are heavily investing in XRP, with futures trading volume reaching $8.4 billion, far surpassing the $1.7 billion seen in spot trading. Open interest in XRP futures has climbed to $3.4 billion, reflecting intense speculation even as net outflows have totaled $16.36 million since mid-October. Experts caution that this split—where investors favor derivatives but sell the actual token—could spark significant price swings. Despite a broader downturn in crypto, XRP has held steady around $2.26.

Technical experts are focusing on Fibonacci extension levels that may determine XRP’s next direction.

identified crucial targets at $8, $13, and $27, based on 1.272, 1.414, and 1.618 extensions from XRP’s long-term accumulation range. These forecasts echo previous trends, such as the 2017 rally from $0.005 to $3.61, which followed four-week consolidation periods. indicates XRP is moving within a downward channel, with support at $2.10 and resistance at $2.50. Surpassing $2.50 could set off a rise toward $2.77 and $3.10, while dropping below $2.16 could push prices down to $1.94.

Ripple’s recent strategic actions are adding to the market’s unpredictability. The company has just wrapped up a $500 million funding round, valuing it at $40 billion, with backing from Citadel Securities and Galaxy Digital. During Ripple’s Swell 2025 event, CEO Brad Garlinghouse underscored XRP’s central role in the ecosystem and announced a collaboration with Mastercard to pilot RLUSD stablecoin settlements. Garlinghouse also advocated for using "on XRP" instead of the technically precise "on XRPL," reflecting a shift toward community preferences,

.

Nevertheless, doubts remain regarding Ripple’s valuation. Venture capitalists,

, contend that Ripple’s value is largely based on its $87.5 billion in XRP held in escrow. Michael Arrington, founder of TechCrunch, disagreed, labeling such opinions as "cognitive dissonance" and pointing to Ripple’s growing institutional presence, including its RLUSD stablecoin and custody offerings.

Broader economic uncertainty is also a factor, with the U.S. Supreme Court reviewing Trump’s tariff authority, creating a cautious market mood. According to Polymarket, only 25% of participants believe the Court will maintain the tariffs, raising concerns about potential market disruptions. Should the decision limit executive power, both equities and cryptocurrencies could see increased volatility.

Institutional interest in XRP may accelerate if a spot ETF is introduced. JPMorgan analysts forecast $8 billion in inflows to XRP ETFs in their first year, drawing comparisons to the performance of

and HBAR. Ripple’s Garlinghouse has positioned the company to benefit from clearer regulations, referencing the Crypto Market Structure Bill and Clarity Act.

The market remains split. While XRP’s recent bounce to $2.29 shows some strength, open interest in derivatives at $3.32 billion,

, suggests that volatility could be on the horizon. Some traders anticipate a blow-off top, with analysts warning that a move above $2.69 could send XRP toward $3.05 and $3.42, while a drop could see it fall back to $2.00 or below.
