With XRP's market capitalization at $28.32 billion, the trading volume now represents approximately 5.1% of its total value, suggesting a significant yet not overwhelming level of trading activity.

However, the rise in trading activity has been accompanied by a remarkable surge in liquidations of long positions. Over the past 24 hours, a staggering $935,280 million in bullish positions have been liquidated, in stark contrast to the relatively minor $74,580 liquidated from bearish positions.
This divergence of a staggering 1,254% is quite telling of what is happening on the market right now.
While the increased activity signals strong investor interest, the significant liquidations of bullish positions indicate a painful correction for many traders.
