XRP Bulls Stunned by 1,455% Liquidation Imbalance in Just One Hour

Cal Evans 6 February 2025
Ripple XRP COIN
  • In just one hour, the XRP perpetual futures market saw a massive 1,455% liquidation imbalance, with $920,000 wiped out, mostly from long positions.
  • Despite only a minor 2.7% price drop, the sudden shift in market momentum caught traders off guard, highlighting the unpredictable volatility of the crypto market.

In a shocking turn of events, the XRP perpetual futures market experienced a staggering 1,455% liquidation imbalance within just one hour, wiping out nearly a million dollars. According to data from CoinGlass, a total of $920,000 was liquidated in that short window of time, and the most surprising part? A whopping 93.4% of that loss, or about $860,000, came from traders holding long positions, while shorts only accounted for $60,000.

A Sharp Market Reversal

Despite no major price collapse on XRP’s part — the cryptocurrency only dipped 2.7% — the sudden liquidation was a reminder of how quickly market sentiment can shift. Traders had been riding high after a brief 3% gain, believing the bullish momentum was just beginning. However, that optimism rapidly evaporated as the market swiftly turned, sending long positions spiraling into massive losses.

While XRP didn’t experience a dramatic crash, this moment is a cautionary tale for traders, especially considering that almost the entire crypto market was affected. In just an hour, $27.7 million in positions across all assets were wiped out, with long traders losing a substantial $24.41 million, far outpacing the $3.51 million loss from short traders.

Why Did This Happen?

XRP’s chart had been showing positive signs, leading traders to believe in a continued upward trend. This created a bullish sentiment that encouraged traders to go long. But as momentum slowed and the market failed to maintain its upward trajectory, the rally came to a grinding halt. Sentiment alone could no longer sustain prices, and the rapid shift in market dynamics led to an abrupt liquidation event.

This sudden shift raises questions about whether going long on XRP is still a wise strategy. Every attempt at a price rebound seems to be followed by more selling pressure. If the market isn’t ready for a significant reversal, XRP could continue to slide further until enough pressure eases, and buyers regain confidence.

As always in the crypto world, volatility is the name of the game, and moments like this remind traders of the unpredictable nature of the market.
