The Move Down Came on Thin Volume
On 7 November the price was down about 1.3%. Trading on Binance that day came to $75.2 million, about 30% below its 20-day average.
XRP's fall was set off by a Wall Street sell-off that spread to the whole crypto market overnight, CryptoTicker reported. It came with no comparable event at Ripple or on the XRP Ledger.
Spot XRP ETFs recorded zero net flows on November 3, 4, 5 and 6, 247wallst.com reported. The funds' net assets shrank over those days.
Open interest, the value of futures contracts still open, stood at $387 million on Binance futures. It is up about 16% over 7 days and down about 6% since 10 October.
Where the Fall Meets the $1.12 Floor
The 6 November close broke below $1.20, the last dip the price turned up from, on 30 October. The nearest level below is the $1.12 floor, about 4% under the price.
That floor has turned the price 3 times since early February, with its last turn on 4 July.
A Close Above $1.18 or Below $1.12
The $1.18 ceiling sits about 2% above the price. A daily close is the last price of the day.
A daily close above $1.18 would put the next level on that side at $1.28, about 10% above. A daily close below $1.12 would put the next level on that side at $1.05, about 9% below.
