XRP Binance Flows Signal Breakout as $1.40 Looms
XRP has been consolidating below $1.40 for about 20 days, but Binance flow data suggests the range could break upward. Analyst Amr Taha flagged a shift on Binance: the seven-day average shows XRP withdrawals rising to 53% while deposits fall to 46%, levels last seen in June 2025. That June setup preceded a 65% XRP rally, culminating in an all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025.
The bearish immediate sell pressure looks reduced because fewer coins appear to be moving onto exchanges. CryptoQuant also shows Binance liquidity thinning sharply: the 30-day XRP liquidity index fell to 0.053 (lowest since 2021). At the same time, daily activity is weak, with 30-day trading volume around 3.77B XRP.
On-chain and derivatives data remain mixed but slightly supportive for an upside attempt. Aggregated spot CVD is about -$153M and futures CVD about -$295M, suggesting aggressive selling is cooling rather than accelerating. Funding rates are mildly positive at 0.06% (a small long bias), while open interest has risen to roughly $769M, indicating new positioning. Price is around $1.38 with limited movement.
Technically, a daily close above $1.40 could open a path toward $1.60–$1.67, with $1.40 also aligning near the 50-day moving average. Liquidation risk is meaningful: about $250–$300M in longs/shorts could be exposed within a 10% move, which could amplify volatility if XRP breaks $1.40.
Bullish
The article’s core signal is that XRP’s Binance flow mix has flipped toward withdrawals (53%) versus deposits (46%), which historically reduced immediate exchange-side selling pressure. It cites the June 2025 pattern that preceded a run to $3.65, and the current setup could similarly translate consolidation into a breakout if follow-through persists.
Further bullish tilt comes from thinning liquidity and low participation, which often compresses price action and can set up larger directional moves once demand returns. Derivatives positioning also leans slightly supportive: funding is mildly positive (0.06%), open interest is rising (~$769M), and CVD suggests aggressive selling is cooling.
Traders should watch the $1.40 trigger. A daily close above it would likely activate stop/hedge dynamics given $250–$300M in nearby liquidation risk, potentially accelerating upside toward $1.60–$1.67. In the short term, the low-liquidity regime can increase whipsaw risk, but the balance of signals favors an upside attempt rather than a sustained breakdown.
