Binance tightens grip as crypto trading volume drops in Q1

The XRP price wasn&#8217;t particularly impressive over the past week, despite a 
bullish momentum into the crypto market. According to the latest on-chain 
data, the altcoin might be about to put this period of sluggish price action 
behind it, with a potential breakout on the cards. Taker Buy Ratio Points To 
Intense Accumulation On Binance In a recent Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant 
platform, market analyst CryptoOnchain hypothesized that there could soon be a 
significant shift in XRP’s price momentum. This optimistic projection is based 
on the changes in the XRP Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on the Binance exchange.

Drop To $0.07 The Taker Buy Ratio measures how much of the trading volume on 
an exchange (in this case, Binance) comes from buyers aggressively buying XRP 
at market price (sell orders). On the other hand, the Taker Sell Ratio 
measures how much of the trading volume comes from sellers aggressively 
selling at market price (hitting buy orders) — with the Buy/Sell ratio 
comparing these two. According to CryptoOnchain, the 100-day simple moving 
average of the Taker Buy/Sell ratio witnessed a significant surge, recently 
reaching a historic all-time high. Highlighting, specifically, the 30-day SMA 
of the Taker Buy ratio, the crypto pundit cited an impressive expansion up to 
0.495. At the same time, the Taker Sell ratio has faced the opposite 
direction, with the index slowly falling until it reached 0.505. When the 
Taker Sell ratio falls, it signifies that fewer sellers are distributing their 
holdings. Contrarily, a rising Taker Buy ratio indicates that more traders are 
aggressively buying a token (XRP, in this scenario). Taken together, these two 
readings make it apparent that the aggressive buyers in the XRP market are 
increasingly accumulating tokens being distributed by the sellers. Notably, 
CryptoOnchain explained that this behavior has often preceded sustained 
bullish price momentum in the near-term. Hence, if historical patterns were 
anything to go by, the XRP price could soon see yet another boost to continue 
last Tuesday’s move. XRP Market Overview As of this writing, the XRP price 
stands at around the $1.36 level, with no significant movement in the past 
day. While XRP boasts a 3.3% jump on the weekly timeframe, the cryptocurrency 
is down by 0.9% in the past 30 days. Per data from SoSoValue, US XRP Spot ETFs 
recorded a total net inflow of $11.5 million in the past week. Interestingly, 
however, there were two instances – April 6th and April 8th – where the XRP 
Spot ETFs recorded $0 in daily net inflows within this period. Related
