-
The XRP was traded at $2.13 and made a 3.2% daily return but was held in check underneath resistance at $2.18.
-
Good support at $2.06 remains intact and ensures that the price activity does not go beyond a specific range of 24 hours.
-
Short positions with high leverage are concentrated around a high liquidation level of $2.22 above the current prices.
XRP is trading above its previous 24-hour movements because the price movements were well-organized close to essential technical levels. By the time of the report, XRP was priced at $2.13, which was an increase by 3.2 percent per day. The price action formed within a well-identified range, and the derivatives data indicated the accumulation of pressure at higher levels. The market focus was on resistance just above prevailing price and leveraged positions were concentrated there. This order defined the short term price action and established the trading environment in both spot and derivative markets.
XRP Price Holds Above $2.06 as Range Structure Persists
Interestingly, XRP was at the level of $2.06 during the period under observation. Price had been approaching this region previously, without settling trading at it. Nonetheless, recent gains were limited by resistance at $2.18 to the upside movement. Consequently, XRP has been trading within a tight band within 24 hours.
This structure made the price activity well-organised and minimised volatility. In addition, the BTC pair experienced a modest change in which the XRP was trading at 0.00002240 BTC which translates to an increment of 0.2 percent. The cohesive movements maintained the market conditions steady as they entered the second stage.
Short Exposure Builds Above $2.20 as Liquidation Activity Remains Uneven
As price stabilized, derivatives data revealed concentrated short exposure above current levels. Specifically, high-leverage short positions clustered near $2.22. If XRP trades into this zone, liquidation mechanics would activate automatically. These liquidations would close short positions using market orders. Consequently, this level remains a focal point for market participants. However, the price had not reached that area at the time of reporting. Instead, XRP remained below resistance, keeping liquidation pressure latent rather than active.

Following this structure, liquidation volume data showed uneven participation across sessions. Long liquidations dominated earlier periods, while short liquidations appeared limited near current prices. This imbalance aligned with the observed resistance ceiling at $2.18. Moreover, liquidation spikes occurred without extended follow-through, reinforcing range-bound behavior. As trading continued, price stayed aligned with these volume patterns. This alignment kept XRP confined within existing technical boundaries, linking spot movement directly with derivatives positioning.

XRP drops 9% as whales buy 170 million coins: Is this a sign of a price bottom or a precursor to a rebound?
February 24 News, despite XRP's recent sustained pressure and a phased decline of about 9%, on-chain fund flows have shown clear signs of divergence, with large holder addresses and institutional investors continuing to add positions during the pullback, sparking market attention on whether XRP's price has bottomed out and the potential for a rebound.
Data shows that since February, XRP has been consistently constrained by a downward trend resistance level, with short-term momentum remaining weak and market sentiment turning cautious. However, on-chain indicators reveal that XRP's current market price is below its intrinsic value, which usually indicates that most holders are in a floating loss. From a historical cycle perspective, when the price falls below the actual cost range, it is often seen as an undervalued phase, likely to attract medium- to long-term capital deployment.

SBI issues 10 billion yen digital bonds and rewards XRP, with a minimum participation of 10,000 yen for retail investors
On February 24, Japanese financial giant SBI Holdings announced that it will issue a 10 billion yen unsecured digital bond, the "SBI START Bond," on March 24. The bond will be open for subscription to retail investors in Japan, with a minimum investment threshold of just 10,000 yen. The issuance size is approximately $64.6 million, comparable to the scale of large digital bond issuances in Japan in recent years, and is seen as an important step for Japan's digital securities market to target individual investors.
In terms of product design, SBI has introduced a crypto asset incentive mechanism, allowing investors to receive XRP token rewards. According to the plan, eligible domestic Japanese investors must register an account with SBI VC Trade to receive the related rewards. The XRP reward program will be distributed in May 2026, and the bonds will pay partial interest in installments from 2027 to 2029. Industry insiders believe this move will help expand the registration of digital asset accounts and increase retail investors' participation in blockchain financial products.
