XRP Short Positions Trigger Selling Pressure The recent predominantly negative funding on the chart is notable. Negative funding means short positions are more intense; the overall market is opening downward positions. In other words, sentiment in the futures market is weak and there is selling pressure. The negativity has deepened but there is no collective short squeeze potential at a panic level yet. The price has been in a clear downtrend in recent weeks. When funding is negative and price falls at the same time, it confirms that both futures positions and price declines are in alignment. As everyone takes short positions in the futures market, the continuation of the trend becomes more likely. This is because as short pressure continues, the appetite for opening long positions remains low. In this scenario, the likelihood of the price retesting the $2.0 – $1.9 range increases. This does not mean it will definitely fall; it’s just the scenario favored by the current chart structure. However, if negative funding deepens in the coming days, the price could move sideways and then upward towards the $2.25–$2.35 region, stopping out short positions and clearing liquidity. $XRP #XRP In summary, the price is in a downtrend and the short side is dominant but not extreme. We can say there is short-term downward pressure. If funding drops below -0.01, the price may retreat to $1.9. #Ripple ⚠️ #not an ad or investment advice. This analysis reflects my personal opinion.
