XRP Draws $184M as Traders Bet Against the Crash — Is a Rebound Coming?

XRP slipped below $1.30, down ~22.5% from its September high, yet Binance perpetual taker-buy volume spiked to $184M, peaking above $73M in one hour, triggering a ~5% bounce. Analysts deem the flow speculative and short-term. Supporting factors: steady spot ETF inflows (~$1.8B cumulative) and growing XRP Ledger RWA activity. With BTC ETF demand thinning and $1.42 as resistance, sustained upside requires genuine spot follow-through.
