A heatmap of liquidity shows heavy concentration at that level, suggesting it may act as a trigger point for forced closures. Such a move could create rapid upward momentum if shorts are squeezed out.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">When <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&amp;src=ctag&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">$XRP<\/a> reaches $3, a large number of short positions will be liquidated. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7NspGqkgRU\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/7NspGqkgRU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CW (@CW8900) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CW8900\/status\/1958774939064181191?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">August 22, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the moment, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripple-price-analysis-whats-next-for-xrp-after-20-pullback\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XRP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is trading below that mark, fluctuating between $2.85 and $2.95. The $2.90\u2013$2.95 area has formed as near-term resistance. A clean break above this zone would put $3.00 back in play and raise the risk of a liquidation wave.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">XRP is priced at $2.87 with a daily trading volume of $4.67 billion. It has fallen 1% over the past 24 hours and is down 8% in the last seven days. Trading activity remains strong, keeping Ripple\u2019s token among the most liquid assets in the market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On-chain figures show larger players have been active. Institutional-sized flows pushed XRP turnover to 155 million during recovery sessions, well above the 63 million daily average. This increase suggests steady participation even as prices are corrected.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Profit Taking by Long-Term Holders<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Glassnode data <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/glassnode\/status\/1958082295719502291\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> long-term holders have been locking in gains. Realized profits topped $2 billion during the recent pullback, pointing to heavy distribution into consolidation phases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This pattern is not new for XRP. On July 24, profit-taking spiked to $375 million as the token peaked near $3.55. That event led to a 10% daily drop, the sharpest single-day decline in more than three months. Current activity suggests a similar positioning as the price hovers below $3.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_409666\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-409666\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyyBNsaXIAAMC1v.jpeg\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-409666\" src=\"http:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyyBNsaXIAAMC1v.jpeg\" alt=\"XRP realize profit by age\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyyBNsaXIAAMC1v.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyyBNsaXIAAMC1v-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyyBNsaXIAAMC1v-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyyBNsaXIAAMC1v-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyyBNsaXIAAMC1v-50x28.jpeg 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-409666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: Glassnode\/X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><b>Technical Indicators and Ripple Update<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analyst Ali Martinez noted that the TD Sequential indicator has turned bullish on XRP\u2019s hourly chart.
