Arthur Hayes doubles down on HYPE as he eyes $150 target by August

The XRP price saw a sharp upward boost on Tuesday, April 7th, owing to the 
somewhat de-escalating tensions between the United States and Iran. This price 
momentum follows multiple weeks of unstimulating price movements, mirroring 
the general market&#8217;s uncertain state. During those moments of relative silence 
on the charts, user activity seemed to drop alongside prices. Data from a 
recent on-chain analysis revealed a significant decline in XRP trading 
activity on Binance, the world’s leading exchange by trading volume. Weak 
Volume Signals Cooling Market Momentum In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant 
platform, on-chain analyst Arab Chain shared data showing a significant loss 
of trading activity for XRP on Binance. The relevant indicator here is the XRP 
Volume Z-Score (30d) metric, which measures the extent to which trading volume 
deviates from its 30-day average. Related Reading: Ethereum Mirrors A 2023 
Setup As Buyers Take Control Of Derivatives On Binance Arab Chain explained 
that when readings from this metric slip into negative levels, it indicates 
that current trading volume is below the historical average, signaling reduced 
activity and less available liquidity. In the Quicktake post, the analyst 
highlighted that the index recently dropped below -1, one of the lowest levels 
reached since 2025. As previously explained, this reading highlights a 
markedly low volume of trading activity on the exchange. Interestingly, this 
decline has been concurrent with a sustained downturn in the XRP price, 
suggesting that the lack of strong participation is weighing on price action, 
as progressively fewer buyers step in to support the market. According to the 
crypto pundit, a fall in trading volume usually coincides with a period of 
market anticipation, during which investors prefer to wait for clearer signals 
before entering new positions. Also, a declining Z-Score is often a telltale 
sign of waning investor participation, especially among its short-term holders 
(who are more drawn by momentum and trading volume). The analyst added that 
periods of low trading volume are typically associated with consolidation 
phases. During such times, the market would move sideways or drift slowly in a 
direction, as both buyers and sellers remain cautious – a phase which actually 
precedes strong directional momentum. The market pundit also put forward the 
possibility that the recorded decline in trading volume may reflect reduced 
market volatility, characterized by weak price action due to the reduced 
volume of large market orders. &#8220;This pattern is common after periods of high 
activity, as the market tends to enter a rebalancing phase,” Arab Chain 
explained. The question, now, is whether this low-activity phase will reawaken 
momentum or worsen downside risk. If trading volume begins to recover, it 
could signal growing confidence and the potential for stronger price action; 
continued weakness in participation may, however, keep the market stuck in a 
period of uncertainty. XRP Price At A Glance As of this writing, the XRP is 
valued at approximately $1.35, reflecting a measly 0.7% jump on the daily 
timeframe. Related Reading: XRP Eyes $17 After Massive Breakout—Is A 1,100%

XRP Trading Volume Drops To Lowest Level Since 2025 — What’s Happening?

The Bitcoin price has been one to watch over the past week, jumping by nearly 
10% in less than seven days. According to the latest on-chain data, the bears 
might be in for an even longer ride as funding rates fall to critically low 
levels. BTC Bears At Risk Of A Short Squeeze In a new Quicktake post on the 
CryptoQuant platform, crypto analyst Gaah revealed that the Bitcoin funding 
rates have been in a steep decline over the past few days, as the price builds 
the foundation for sustained recovery. The relevant indicator here is the 
Funding Rates metric, which tracks the periodic fee exchanged between traders 
in a derivatives market for a particular cryptocurrency (BTC, in this case). 
Related Reading: Bitcoin 23 Bar Theory: What Happens To The BTC Price If The 
Bottom Is In? A positive funding rate typically implies that the long traders 
(investors with buy positions) are paying a fee to short traders (investors 
with sell positions) in the derivatives market. On the other hand, when the 
funding rate is negative (as seen in the current scenario), it means that the 
periodic fee is rather being paid by the short traders to the long traders. 
According to data from CryptoQuant, the Bitcoin Funding Rates metric fell to 
around -0.011, its lowest level since early February, when the price of BTC 
slumped toward the $60,000 level. &#8220;The market is very &#8216;easy&#8217; and obvious to 
trade on [the] sell side,&#8221; Gaah wrote in the Quicktake post. From an on-chain 
perspective, a negative funding rate signals that the majority of the market — 
are bears — betting against the price of Bitcoin. However, extremely negative 
funding rates have historically proven to be a &#8220;contrarian signal,&#8221; meaning 
that the asset price tends to move in the opposite direction of the crowd (the 
bears, in this scenario). As prices begin to rise unexpectedly, several 
traders may be forced to close their overleveraged short positions, causing a 
further boost in the asset&#8217;s value in a phenomenon known as the &#8220;short 
squeeze.&#8221; As crypto analyst Gaah pointed out in their Quicktake post, the 
chances of a short squeeze are increasing by the day. &#8220;Caution is needed when 
establishing positions in [the] current range, since it represents an area of 
buying demand,&#8221; the market pundit concluded. Bitcoin Price Overview After a 
fairly positive performance over the past week, the price action of Bitcoin 
has somewhat slowed down this weekend — as has been mostly seen on most 
weekends over the past year. As of this writing, the premier cryptocurrency is 
valued at $73,425, reflecting no significant movement in the past 24 hours.
