Buying pressure is gradually recovering in the XRP (Ripple) futures market, raising analysis that cracks are beginning to appear in the long-standing sell-dominant structure.

According to cryptocurrency media outlet Bitcoinist on March 13 (local time), XRP is currently moving sideways below $1.50 as the market struggles to find direction. After experiencing sharp volatility earlier this year, prices have recently stabilized, with investors reassessing liquidity and changes in market conditions.

While the spot market remains relatively quiet, subtle shifts have been detected in the derivatives market. The key indicator in this analysis is the Taker Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) on Binance’s futures market. This metric accumulates the difference between aggressive market buy and sell orders, revealing structural changes in buying and selling pressure.

According to CryptoQuant data, recent sessions recorded approximately 516.4 million XRP in market buy orders and about 513.1 million XRP in sell orders. As a result, a net buying advantage of roughly 3.36 million XRP emerged, giving buyers a slight edge in the futures market. Although the scale is not large, it is interpreted as a sign that the strong selling trend that persisted for several months is gradually easing.

On a 90-day basis, the Taker CVD remains negative at around minus 1.58 billion XRP, but it has recently been trending upward, recovering to its highest level since November 20. This indicates that the aggressive selling pressure that had dominated the derivatives market is gradually diminishing. At the same time, hundreds of millions of XRP worth of taker orders are still occurring in the futures market, suggesting that leveraged trader participation remains high.

From a price perspective, XRP continues to move within a range around $1.38. Since late 2025, the asset has formed a pattern of lower highs and lower lows amid a prolonged downtrend, and it is currently trading within a narrow band between approximately $1.30 and $1.45. Analysts note that $1.30 is acting as a key support level. If this range holds, a price base could form; however, if it breaks down, further downward pressure may resume.
