XRP Short Squeeze Risk Grows as $3.9M Liquidation Leverage Stacks Above $1.15

XRP short squeeze risk rises as $3.9M in short liquidation leverage stacks above $1.15 while XRP trades near $1.14.

XRP short traders face rising pressure as liquidation data shows more than $3.9 million in cumulative short leverage above $1.15.

The setup comes while XRP trades near $1.14 on the daily chart, close to a short-term support area.

Long positions have already faced pressure below current levels, which leaves attention on short liquidation zones above price.

A clean move above $1.15 would place leveraged bearish positions under closer stress if buying pressure returns.

XRP Price Holds Near Key Short-Term Support

XRP traded near $1.14 on the daily chart after losing strength from earlier highs above $3.00. 

The token has formed lower highs through 2026, which keeps the broader structure under pressure.

The $1.10 to $1.15 range now acts as a key short-term zone for traders. Buyers need to defend this area to prevent another move toward lower support.

A daily close below $1.10 would weaken the current setup and place the $1.00 level back in focus. 

However, steady demand above this zone would support another attempt toward higher resistance.

Short Liquidation Leverage Builds Above $1.15

Liquidation data shows more than $3.9 million in cumulative short leverage stacked above $1.15. 

This means many leveraged bearish positions face forced closure if XRP moves above that level.

Short squeezes often develop when price moves into crowded liquidation zones. In that case, forced buying from short closures can add speed to an upward move.

The current setup places $1.15 as the first level to watch for short-term pressure. A strong daily move above that area would shift focus toward $1.35 and then $1.50.

RSI and MACD Show Mixed Momentum

The 14-day RSI sits near 40.65, which shows weak buyer strength but not extreme oversold conditions. This reading means XRP still has room to recover if buyers regain control.

A move above the 50 RSI level would give traders a stronger signal of improving momentum. Until then, sellers still hold an advantage in the broader daily structure.

The MACD remains below the zero line, which shows that the larger trend still favors bearish pressure. 

However, the MACD line sits slightly above the signal line, suggesting early recovery pressure may be forming.

For now, XRP remains between short squeeze risk above $1.15 and breakdown risk below $1.10. Traders are watching whether buyers can push price into the short liquidation cluster.
