XRP Liquidation Heatmap Is Screaming. Here’s What to Expect This Week

As XRP continues to trade well below recent highs, market participants are closely monitoring key liquidity levels that could influence price action in the days ahead.

One of the latest observations comes from crypto researcher BankXRP, who shared a liquidation heatmap suggesting that a significant concentration of short liquidations remains positioned above the current market price.

In a post on X, BankXRP stated that the “XRP liquidation heatmap is screaming,” while pointing to what he described as $2.17 billion in short liquidations stacked above current levels. The researcher specifically highlighted the $1.35 region, noting that a large liquidity wall remains untouched and could become an important area for traders to watch in the coming week.

The chart attached to the post shows Binance XRP/USDT perpetual futures data over one week. During that timeframe, XRP experienced a steady decline from the mid-$1.30 range to near $1.10. Despite the downward trend, the heatmap reveals a substantial concentration of liquidity around the $1.35 level, represented by one of the brightest areas on the chart.

Focus Shifts to the Untouched $1.35 Liquidity Wall

According to BankXRP, the large cluster of short liquidations above the current price could create conditions that encourage market participants to target higher levels. He emphasized that the yellow liquidity wall around $1.35 has not yet been reached despite recent market activity.

The researcher expressed confidence that the coming week could prove significant for XRP traders, suggesting that bearish traders and weak holders may face challenges if the price begins moving toward those heavily concentrated liquidation zones.

Traders commonly use liquidation heatmaps to identify areas where leveraged positions may be forced to close. When a large number of short positions accumulate at a specific level, a rapid move upward can trigger liquidations, potentially adding buying pressure as those positions are closed.

Community Offers Different Perspectives

The post generated a range of reactions from market observers.

One commenter, Xeowolf, argued that the presence of liquidity above the current price does not necessarily guarantee an upward move. He stated that short sellers can still profit if the market declines and may choose to close positions voluntarily rather than being liquidated.

Another user, J, questioned the significance of the $1.35 level itself. The commenter suggested that reclaiming that price point should not be viewed as a major achievement and expressed skepticism regarding the excitement surrounding the liquidity target.

Meanwhile, Crypty007 acknowledged the liquidity pool around $1.35 and noted that market makers often pay attention to areas with high liquidity concentrations. However, the commenter also cautioned against treating liquidation maps as predictive tools, emphasizing that they identify potential liquidity targets rather than guaranteeing future price direction.

For now, BankXRP’s analysis has placed additional focus on the $1.35 level, with traders watching closely to see whether XRP can move toward the large concentration of short liquidations highlighted on the heatmap.
