It has been a week since Ripple [XRP] started consolidating at a crucial level, which could determine whether the asset will rally or decline in the coming days.
In this make-or-break situation, XRP is gaining significant attention from crypto enthusiasts, leading to its stability at a critical level despite the ongoing market sell-off.
$75 million worth of XRP outflow
The asset has maintained its current level due to the continuous accumulation and withdrawal of XRP tokens from exchanges, as reported by the on-chain analytics firm Coinglass.
Data from Spot Inflow/Outflow revealed that exchanges have witnessed an outflow of $75.55 million worth of XRP tokens since the beginning of the price consolidation.

This substantial outflow from exchanges hints that potential accumulation could create buying pressure and further upside momentum.
However, some believe this data also signals an ideal buying opportunity.
Traders holding long positions are dominating
Besides long-term holders’ bullish outlook, intraday traders are also betting on an upside rally. Data reveals traders holding long positions are dominating, with over-leveraged positions at $2.399, totaling $24.55 million.
Meanwhile, $2.50 is the nearest over-leveraged level, where traders hold $15.77 million worth of short positions.
