Ripple (XRP) Sees Trading Volume Surge as Price Seeks to Reverse Upward
During the final months of 2023, Ripple experienced a plethora of anticipation as to how it could perform in the coming year. Many expected its legal troubles, like its years-long lawsuit from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to finally conclude.

That has led to its combined trading volume reaching more than $1 billion, noting a key resurgence of interest from investors. However, that has not yet led to any significant movement in its price. Over the last 24 hours, the asset is still trading at the $0.53 level and only up less than 1%.
Additionally, throughout the last day, XRP has been listed among the top liquidated digital assets on the market. Specifically, $190,000 worth of XPR positions have been liquidated over four hours. Moreover, more than 99% of those liquidations had come from long positions.
That development is likely a byproduct of the underachievement of the overall XRP price. Subsequently, in the near term, the asset has greatly struggled to regain any kind of upward momentum. Although small gains have been noted, there has not been any significant change or alteration in its course.
