According to cryptocurrency analytics platform Santiment, XRP, and Cardano (ADA) are&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/santimentfeed/status/1803499449672753502" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">among</a> the most heavily-shorted cryptocurrencies following their recent relief bounces.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The firm has stated that this could potentially be a good sign for the bulls since liquidated shorts could act as "rocket fuel" for sustained price increases.&nbsp;&nbsp;
A "short squeeze" occurs when a large number of holders are betting against a certain cryptocurrency, causing a significant imbalance between supply and demand.&nbsp;
As&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/xrp-officially-decouples-from-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported by U.Today</a>, the XRP cryptocurrency recently managed to decouple from Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency. On July 17, it gained as much as 7% against the crypto king while also outperforming the entire top 100.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, ADA is benefiting from the hype surrounding the upcoming launch of the "Chang" hard fork that will start a new era with decentralized governance. As&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/cardano-on-verge-of-most-significant-milestone-in-its-history" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported by U.Today</a>, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated that this would be the biggest milestone in the history of the proof-of-stake network as well as the broader cryptocurrency industry.&nbsp;&nbsp;
XRP and ADA are currently in 8th and 11th places by market value after surging 3.7% and 4.7% over the past 24 hours, respectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So far, the aforementioned cryptocurrencies have not experienced substantial volatility. Coinglass data shows that $1.02 million worth of XRP and $217,830 worth of ADA have been liquidated in one day. However, these liquidations could grow substantially if aggressive shorting continues. A rapid rise in price caused by a short squeeze could cause a cascade of liquidations.&nbsp;

This Could Be "Rocket Fuel" For XRP and Cardano (ADA)
