XRP is currently under pressure as taker flow data from Binance indicates net aggressive selling. As of October 20, 2026, the taker buy/sell ratio printed at 0.8693, with sell volume of 5.99 million units outpacing buy volume of 5.20 million. This indicates that aggressive market orders are hitting the bid, a concrete measure of short-term directional pressure. Open interest in XRP futures has risen to $416.8 million, up 1.34% over 24 hours, suggesting that new positions are being added to the market. While the long/short ratio remains skewed toward longs, the recent increase in sell-side market orders suggests that the pivot point at $1.30 is facing significant testing from bearish participants.
