\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tXRP market weakness continues as open interest contracts and investors book heavy losses.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Investors are becoming increasingly cautious due to the ongoing geopolitical turmoil. The XRP market is also seeing significant weakness as traders appear to be pulling back from the crypto asset.<\/p>\n
In fact, new data suggests that XRP\u2019s derivatives market has taken a major hit.<\/p>\n
Glassnode reported<\/a> that after the early October 2025 deleveraging event, XRP perpetual open interest dropped sharply from 7 billion to 2 billion tokens, a 71% decline.<\/p>\n The analytics firm observed that positioning has continued to shrink, and open interest fell another 25% to 1.5 billion XRP. Such a pattern potentially means that speculative activity remains low across derivatives markets.<\/p>\n In a separate update last week, Glassnode observed that more than half of XRP\u2019s supply remains underwater. Investors who accumulated above $2 over the past 12 months have been realizing losses at a pace of $20 million to $110 million per day since November 2025, as selling pressure continues.<\/p>\n Amid this backdrop of weakening participation and losses, XRP is seeing widespread pessimism. Santiment reported<\/a> that fear, uncertainty, and doubt surrounding XRP have climbed to their third-highest level in the past two years. The change comes after more than 60% price decline over the last nine months, which has driven many retail participants out of the market.<\/p>\n Historically, such spikes in bearish sentiment have coincided with a higher likelihood of relief rallies, as prices often move against prevailing expectations. As such, the current market structure could present an entry point.<\/p>\n Analyst Ali Martinez flagged<\/a> that XRP continues to trade within a large ascending triangle that has been forming on the monthly chart for nearly nine years. According to his analysis, the asset has repeatedly faced rejection at a major resistance level of $3.30 before retracing to a rising support trendline.<\/p>\n Following the latest rejection in August 2025, he expects XRP to retest the $0.75 to $0.80 range. Martinez also described this zone as a key accumulation area, while noting that a breakout from such a long consolidation could lead to a significant move.<\/p>\n LIMITED OFFER for CryptoPotato readers at Bybit: Use this link<\/a> to register and open a $500 FREE position on any coin!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nYou may also like:<\/h3>\n
