The analyst cited short positioning dynamics as a contributing factor to that previous movement.<\/p>\n<p>Funding rates on major cryptocurrency exchanges have remained predominantly negative since December, according to data from Binance. Negative funding rates typically indicate a prevalence of leveraged short positions in the market.<\/p>\n<p>XRP entered a correction phase following a rally that began in late 2024.

This resistance zone aligns with a Fibonacci retracement level used in technical analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Technical analysis of the weekly chart shows XRP trading below the 9-week Simple Moving Average.
