XRP Price Prediction: Ripple Faces Strongest Derivatives Selling Pressure

XRP price is having a more complicated prediction than that single red number suggests. Beneath the surface, derivatives desks are running the most aggressive selling program of 2026, and yet leverage keeps piling in.

Binance net taker volume dropped to -$96 million, the strongest aggressive sell push reported this year. Open interest on the same exchange still climbed roughly 14.8%, meaning fresh positions kept entering a market where sellers held the upper hand.

A 90-day taker cumulative volume delta reading also flagged “sell dominance,” reinforcing the bearish tilt already visible in taker flow. This is an unusual setup, falling taker volume paired with rising open interest doesn’t happen when a market is simply losing interest.

It happens when new money arrives and picks a side, and right now that side is short.
