The XRP market is stuck near $1.15, while more futures contracts are being opened, suggesting traders expect a move that could influence the broader crypto market mood.

Analyst inference

What to watch

  1. Changes in XRP futures open interest, because a jump could cause bigger price swings or forced sales for traders using borrowed money. Confirmed
