Why XRP is up 6.4% today
Analysis
XRP rose 6.4% over the past 24 hours as a wave of liquidations and short covering helped propel the token to fresh multi-month highs, extending what Decrypt described as its best week since the post-election pump. AMBCrypto also noted heavy liquidation activity (about $109M) alongside the rally, consistent with a squeeze-driven move.
