XRP is struggling around $1.15 as fear and uncertainty define the current market environment, and holders search for evidence that the current level represents support rather than a temporary pause before further decline. The price is under pressure — and a CryptoQuant analyst has identified a derivatives reset that occurred during the latest sell-off that reveals a sharp divergence between two of the largest XRP trading venues in the world. Related Reading: Ethereum OG Nails The Crash: Sells $188M, Buys Back Lower The sell-off triggered a forced deleveraging event on Bybit that the data makes impossible to dismiss. XRP open interest on Bybit fell to approximately $181 million — its lowest level since February 13, when it stood near $180 million. The current reading represents a 36% decline from Bybit&#8217;s recent peak of $283 million on May 22. A third of the leveraged XRP positioning on one of the most active derivatives venues in the market was flushed out in a compressed timeframe — the behavioral signature of forced exits rather than voluntary position management. Binance tells a completely different story. XRP open interest on Binance remained near $246 million following the same price decline — only approximately 2.4% below its recent high of $252 million recorded on June 2. While Bybit was experiencing a 36% open interest contraction, Binance was holding its positioning almost entirely intact. Two major venues. The same asset. The same price decline. Completely opposite derivative responses. The divergence between them is the structural signal that the CryptoQuant analysis examines — and what it reveals about the health of the current XRP market structure at $1.15 is the most important analytical question the data is currently raising. The Next Move Comes From One Exchange The liquidation data confirms what the open interest divergence implied. XRP&#8217;s decline was not driven purely by spot selling — forced exits from leveraged long positions amplified and accelerated the move. Multiple liquidation events exceeded $3.5 million with long liquidations dominating throughout. The futures volume data adds the scale context. On June 5, Binance recorded approximately $1.85 billion in XRP futures volume. Bybit contributed $727 million, OKX $429 million, and Bitget $423 million — a combined $3.43 billion across four venues in a single session. The derivatives market was not disengaged during the decline. It was processing an enormous volume of forced and voluntary position changes simultaneously. XRP Futures Trading Volume By Exchange | Source: CryptoQuant The recovery from the $1.055 low back above $1.14 — a rebound exceeding 8% — provides evidence that the sell-off contained a leverage flush component rather than representing a complete breakdown in underlying demand. When forced liquidations drive a significant portion of the decline, the price tends to recover once exits are complete and genuine buyers emerge. The structure that remains is specific. Bybit has deleveraged sharply with open interest reset to February levels — fragile positioning cleared. Binance remains near its recent highs with positioning almost entirely intact. The next major XRP derivatives development will originate from Binance — the venue carrying the most residual exposure and the exchange that has not yet experienced the reset Bybit completed during the sell-off.

The chart shows a market that remains under pressure, but one that is also approaching a critical inflection point after testing its lowest levels of the year. XRP consolidates below $1.15 level | Source: XRPUSDT chart on TradingView The dominant feature on the 3-day timeframe is the persistent sequence of lower highs and lower lows that began after XRP peaked near $3.50. Every major recovery attempt since then has been rejected beneath the previous swing high, confirming that sellers remain in control of the broader trend. More recently, XRP lost the important $1.25-$1.30 support area, triggering another leg lower toward the psychological $1.10 region. Related Reading: Why Did Bitcoin Crash? On-Chain Data Points To One Missing Ingredient From a structural perspective, the current price zone is significant because it sits near the lows established during the first quarter correction. Buyers have repeatedly defended this area, preventing a complete breakdown despite multiple tests. However, the rebound attempts have been weak, indicating that demand remains limited. The moving averages continue to reflect bearish conditions. XRP is trading below the 50-period, 100-period, and 200-period moving averages, while the 50-period average is acting as dynamic resistance near $1.40. Until price reclaims that level, any bounce remains technically corrective rather than trend-changing. The key support remains between $1.05 and $1.10. A decisive loss of that zone could expose XRP to a deeper retracement toward the $0.90-$1.00 region. Conversely, reclaiming $1.30 and then $1.40 would be the first signal that buyers are beginning to regain control after months of sustained weakness.
