Zach Rector Says XRP Is Ready to Bounce. Here’s why

Crypto analyst Zach Rector recently published a post and video focused on XRP’s current market structure. The data he presented points to notable buying pressure at current price levels, with several on-chain and exchange-based indicators suggesting upward momentum could follow.

Rector opened with Coinbase order book data showing bids outweighing asks by nearly 7x on large bands. That kind of skew reflects a significant concentration of buy orders sitting below the current price, ready to absorb any further dips. Rector confirmed he personally entered a long position at $1.33, stating he was “very happy to do so.”

$2 Billion in Liquidations Sitting Between $1.34 and $1.40

The more striking data point in Rector’s comes from Coinglass. Rector credited Bank XRP for capturing and sharing the screenshot.

These liquidations represent short positions that would be forced closed if XRP’s price moves back into that range. The market buys to close them, adding upward pressure on the price. The concentration of over $2 billion in that zone gives market makers a strong financial incentive to push the asset’s price higher.

Market Makers Have a Clear Incentive to Push XRP Up

Order book depth and liquidation data are tools professional traders use to assess where an asset’s price is likely to move. When bids heavily outweigh asks, sellers face resistance in moving the price lower. When a dense liquidation cluster sits just above the current price, upward moves can accelerate quickly as forced buying kicks in.

Both signals are currently pointing in the same direction for XRP. The order book data shows buyers are active and positioned. The liquidation map shows a financial incentive for the price to move toward $1.40.

Eyes on $1.40

Rector announced a live XRP order book session to continue monitoring the setup. The session will give followers a real-time look at how these conditions develop. XRP was trading around the $1.33 to $1.34 level at the time of Rector’s. The $1.40 level is the key target where liquidation pressure would reach its concentration peak.

Traders watching this setup will focus on whether the price can reclaim that range and trigger the cascade Rector’s data suggests is possible.
