XRP continues to trade in a consolidation phase above the $1.50 level as the broader cryptocurrency market struggles to regain clear momentum. After experiencing extreme volatility earlier this year, price action has moderated in recent sessions, with assets moving sideways as traders reassess market conditions and liquidity flows.
Although the spot market appears relatively calm, emerging data suggest that underlying demand dynamics may be evolving. The latest analysis based on the XRP indicator Binance Futures Taker CVD (90D) points to a significant change in the structure of buying and selling pressure in the futures market.
Taker Cumulative Volume Delta measures the cumulative difference between aggressive orders and sell orders executed directly in the market over a 90-day period. From a practical perspective, this indicator tracks whether market participants enter the market primarily through market orders.
Because take orders represent traders who want to bypass the spread and execute immediately, this metric provides insight into real-time demand pressure rather than passive liquidity residing in the order book.
For analysts, monitoring changes in the 90-day Taker CVD can determine whether bullish or bearish sentiment is gaining traction among leveraged traders and provides a deeper perspective on market positioning beyond price movements in the spot market.
XRP Futures data shows gradual improvement in buying pressure
CryptoQuant’s report highlights subtle but meaningful changes in the demand structure of the XRP futures market. According to the latest data from Binance, aggressive orders in the last session amounted to about 516.4 million XRP, while sell orders reached 513.1 million XRP. This created a net delta of approximately 3.36 million XRP in favor of buyers, indicating a slight advantage to market participants entering long positions through market orders.
Although the gap between buying and selling activity remains relatively small, the change suggests that selling pressure in the derivatives market may be gradually easing after ruling for several months.
From a broader perspective, the 90-day total volume delta (CVD) remains negative and is currently near -1.58 billion XRP. However, this indicator has been on an upward trend and recently reached its highest level since November 20. This improvement reflects a gradual decline in the aggressive selling flows that previously characterized the futures market structure.
At the same time, trade activity remains high. Futures markets continue to process hundreds of millions of XRP in daily take orders, highlighting the steady participation of leveraged traders.
If this upward trajectory in CVD continues, analysts say it could signal the early stages of a rebalancing between supply and demand forces in the derivatives market.
XRP stabilizes as key support for market tests
XRP is currently consolidating near the $1.38 level after a long correction phase that started at the end of 2025. The chart shows a clear change in the structure of the market, with the price making consecutive highs and lows for several months, which confirms the stability of the bearish momentum throughout the broader trend.
Earlier in the session, XRP was trading above the $3.00 region before slowly losing momentum as sellers regained control of the market. Finally, the asset broke down from several key moving indicators, including short-term and medium-term trend indicators, which accelerated the decline and pushed the price towards the $1.30 range.
The sharp decline observed in early February was one of the most aggressive selling in recent structure, accompanied by a significant increase in trading volume. Such events often reflect forced liquidations or large-scale replacements by market participants.
However, after that drop, price action stabilized. The price is now moving sideways in a relatively tight range between about $1.30 and $1.45. This type of consolidation often reflects a temporary balance between buyers trying to protect support and sellers waiting for new momentum.
From a technical perspective, the $1.30 zone now acts as an important support level. A firm hold above this zone could allow XRP to establish a base, while a break could open bearish pressure in the coming weeks.
