In a thrilling plot twist witnessed recently, XRP, a cryptocurrency backed by Ripple Labs, curated a tidal wave of speculations among crypto market traders and investors globally as the token noted two substantial accumulations from Binance, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange. These accumulations promptly gained substantial traction across the broader crypto market as XRP traded in the red today, dropping back to the $0.61 mark as of press time.
Usual market sentiments of buying the dip appear to be aiding this noteworthy accumulation. Derivatives data, on the other hand, hinted at a bearish sentiment existing within the market, further aligning with the <a href="https://coingape.com/crypto-market-selloff-1-billion-btc-eth-xrp-shib-liquidated/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">massive crypto market liquidation</a> witnessed today.

As <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-price-top-analyst-predicts-xrp-bull-run-to-1/amp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported</a> by CoinGape Media earlier, prominent analysts like Dark Defender and Egrag Crypto retained bullishness on the Ripple-backed token’s potential run to $1 ahead, propelling immense optimism. Simultaneously, the accumulations appear to be riding this wave.
However, derivatives data spotlighted by <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.coinglass.com/currencies/XRP" target="_blank">Coinglass</a> showcased a bearish sentiment within the market, with a substantial plunge in the token’s OI-weighted funding rate, reaching 0.0147%. A plunge in XRP’s open interest, coupled with the plunge in price, further added to the token’s bearishness, birthing inferences over a potential price recovery ahead.
