Why XRP is down 1.3% in the last hour
Analysis
XRP slipped 1.3% over the past hour as traders likely took profits and de-risked after a sharp run-up that pushed XRP to new local peaks and triggered heavy derivatives liquidations. CryptoPotato and U.Today both reported large-scale liquidation activity tied to XRP’s recent surge, which often leads to short-term pullbacks once the squeeze-driven momentum cools.
