XRP Defies Gravity: Steady Climb Continues Despite Early May Buying Frenzy

While other cryptos wobble, XRP charts its own course—upward. The ’banker’s crypto’ shakes off early May volatility like a Wall Street trader ignoring retail investors.

No flash crashes here. Just relentless green candles as Ripple’s darling quietly outperforms. Guess those SEC lawsuits didn’t kill the vibe after all.

Funny how the ’stable’ assets crash while the ’risky’ ones... don’t. Maybe the real safe haven was the shitcoins we made along the way?

Rising liquidity provided a cushion that absorbed speculative pressures without triggering large swings. As the buy/sell ratio softened, XRP continued its rise, showing that short-term speculation wasn’t driving the MOVE higher.

Since the beginning of the week, XRP’s DEX buy/sell ratio has hovered between 1.4 and 1.5, indicating a more balanced structure. Liquidity remained above $19 billion, supporting price resilience even as short-term buying cooled.

This behavior shows that XRP’s rise above $2.5 on DEXs was supported by broader improvements in liquidity, even if it was initiated by a fleeting speculative burst. Robust liquidity like this reduces the risk of sudden reversals and can lead to a more sustainable rally in the short term.
