A clear majority of top traders are betting on XRP to rise. Data shows 76% of them are positioning long on the cryptocurrency. That bullish sentiment comes as XRP's price holds above a critical level: $1.36.
Why traders are piling into longs
The technical picture explains part of the move. XRP's price action points to an accumulation zone — a range where buyers have been consistently stepping in. That zone, combined with the stubborn defense of the $1.36 support, has given traders confidence. They're not just hoping; they're putting money behind the bet.
Long positioning at this rate is unusual. It suggests a coordinated view among the largest players that XRP has found a floor. The question now is whether that floor will hold long enough for a rally to build.
$1.50 target: possible, not guaranteed
If buying pressure continues, XRP could hit $1.50 within the next two weeks. Analysts tracking the setup give that outcome a 65% probability — but only if buyers actually show up. The $1.36 support is the line in the sand. If it breaks, the long thesis weakens fast.
The 65% figure isn't a sure thing. It's a conditional forecast: buyers need to step up, not just hold. So far, the accumulation zone suggests they are. But the market has a way of surprising even the most confident traders.
What happens next
For now, all eyes are on the $1.36 level. If it holds, and the buying pressure materializes, the 14-day window for a $1.50 move is open. If it doesn't, those long positions could unwind quickly. Traders will be watching the order books and volume data closely in the coming days to see if the accumulation turns into a real breakout.
