Ripple’s XRP may be set for a notable rally in the near term, according to derivatives-focused data cited by CryptoQuant. The analysis points to a widening gap between XRP’s spot price and its estimated leverage conditions on Binance, a divergence that the platform says can build “potential energy” for a rapid, squeeze-driven move.
CryptoQuant’s assessment centers on the Estimated Leverage Ratio (ELR), which it describes as a measure of leverage activity relative to exchange reserves. The metric is calculated as open interest divided by the exchange’s coin reserves.
In this framework, higher ELR values generally indicate that traders are using more leverage—effectively borrowing against positions—relative to the available reserves on the exchange. CryptoQuant highlights that the market is “calm yet building potential energy,” suggesting leverage conditions may be shifting even if spot prices have not moved much.
CryptoQuant argues that the divergence between price and leverage can create an unstable market configuration that often leads to a major price swing. The platform notes that, historically in crypto derivatives, these conditions tend to resolve with sharper directional moves rather than gradual price action.
The report also cites broader context that may support a breakout attempt, including greater regulatory clarity following an SEC resolution, ongoing developments in the Ripple ecosystem, expansion of the RLUSD stablecoin, and institutional interest tied to potential ETF activity.
It further notes that long-term holders appear protective at current levels, while leverage traders are beginning to increase exposure again as ELR rises.
CryptoQuant flags $1.5 as a key resistance area that could influence the timing and success of any short-term bull move.
Despite the derivatives-based improvement, the analysis emphasizes that crypto markets remain volatile and can react unpredictably. It also notes that a risk-skeptic environment or delayed catalysts could keep XRP trading sideways longer, even if rising ELR reduces the risk of a major downside move.
