XRP’s price gained about 3% in the last 24 hours, to trade at about $1.93, outperforming Bitcoin and other major altcoins. CoinGlass data showed that XRP derivatives were relatively calm, with about $4.6 million in total liquidations over 24 hours, mostly from long positions being wiped out. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around XRP continued to be in ‘bearish’ territory with ‘low’ levels of chatter over the past day.

Bitcoin’s Risk Continues

This comes at a time when Bitcoin's prices are calmer compared to last week. Glassnode said on X that Bitcoin has recently entered a more active trading phase. It said that when prices fell to $80,000 a week ago, traders sought more insurance against further losses due to heavy uncertainty at the time. 

Glassnode noted that even though the market has calmed down with fewer huge price swings, Bitcoin isn’t out of the danger zone yet. Glassnode analysts believe that Bitcoin is likely to see more uneven trading instead of a smooth move in the near future.

Bitcoin’s price was trading at $87,400 on Tuesday night, up almost 1.5% from the previous day. BTC saw roughly $62 million in liquidations in the last 24 hours, less than the previous day, when it saw $174.14 million wiped out. On Stocktwits, retail sentiment around BTC remained in ‘extremely bearish’ territory with ‘low’ levels of chatter over the past day.
