XRP funding flips deeply negative as traders watch $1.80–$2.00 support and $2.22 resistance

According to on-chain analyst Darkfrost, XRP funding rates on Binance have stayed mostly negative in recent months, echoing conditions that preceded rebounds of about 50% in August–September 2024 and around 100% in April–July 2025. Bears are eyeing a drop toward the 200-week EMA near $1.40 if XRP cannot hold the $1.80–$2.00 support band and reclaim the 50-week EMA at $2.22.
