XRP Targets 2026 Highs After Binance Flows Flash Bull Market Signal
XRP (XRP) has been consolidating in a price range below $1.40 over the past 20 days, but new data suggests that Binance may be poised for a major breakout after reversing signs of activity, easing sell-side pressure.
Binance's withdrawal and deposit activity is flashing a setup that reflects June 2025, when the altcoin begins its rally to $3.65.
XRP Binance deposit drops to 2025 lows
Crypto analyst Amr Taha noted that XRP activity on Binance has changed, with transaction flows moving away from deposit-heavy behavior. The seven-day average of XRP withdrawals rose to 53% while deposits fell to 46%, returning to levels seen by the end of June 2025.
That earlier setup combined with XRP's 65% rally to an all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025 put the current trend on traders' radar.
Falling deposit activity indicates that fewer coins are moving to exchanges, while increasing withdrawal rates indicate that assets are leaving exchanges. If this continues over several trading sessions, it immediately reduces sell-side pressure.
Currently, the flow of XRP on Binance is not controlled by the revenue supply. This indicates a change in trading position, with fewer participants preparing to sell into the market.
Meanwhile, the liquidity has been reduced significantly. According to CryptoQuant data, XRP's 30-day liquidity index on Binance fell to 0.053, the lowest level since 2021.
The price action is consistent with this slowdown. XRP has traded around $1.38 over the past three weeks with limited activity, a quiet order book and reduced trader participation. These low-liquidity levels could join the momentum and precede a strong directional move once momentum returns.

Positioning of XRP traders in futures markets
As the price of XRP strengthened, onchain data showed a cumulative spot cumulative delta (CVD) of $153 million and a futures CVD near $295 million, indicating a strong sell-off.
Buy-side activity did not widen, keeping the price action closed. The currency turned slightly positive by 0.06%, indicating a mild long bias.
Open demand rose to $769 million, indicating that new positions are entering the market.
From a technical perspective, a daily close above $1.40 opens the door to $1.60–$1.67. That $1.40 level is in line with the 50-day moving average, which could turn into support on a major breakout.
The liquidity data shows that approximately $250-300 million in cumulative long/short positions are at risk of 10% in either direction. Compared to larger assets such as BTC (BTC) and Ether (ETH), it is less liquid, indicating lower trader participation at around $1.40.
