XRP Reclaims the $1.20 Area as Spot Buying Leads While Perp Shorts Hit Records

XRP has climbed back toward $1.20, with the move appearing to be driven more by spot buying than by derivatives positioning. Spot CVD rose to $267.4 million while Binance perpetual CVD dropped to a record -$792.5 million, alongside an estimated leverage ratio of 0.187. With leverage elevated and perp selling heavy, the setup points to higher volatility and a risk of sharp reversals if spot demand weakens.
