bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that XRP is pressing toward a price level that has repeatedly stopped its advances for months. The outlet identifies the $1.50 threshold as the make-it-or-break-it level that could determine whether the latest recovery develops into a much larger move. Crypto trader Dom (@traderview2) took note of this key threshold. The report suggests XRP eyes a fierce move to $1.80 if this level flips.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 21 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is currently trading at $1.41 on Binance spot markets. Short-term momentum shows strong accumulation, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 59.2% and the 4-hour ratio at 56.6%, both indicating that buyers are actively defending the price. This contrasts with the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.2%, which sits near even, suggesting that while immediate pressure is bullish, the broader daily trend is more balanced. Volume deltas reflect this short-term aggression, showing positive inflows of +$5,323,230 over the last hour and +$6,399,413 over four hours. However, the 24-hour volume delta is negative at -$2,705,041, indicating that over the full day, sellers have outweighed buyers despite the recent surge. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is +$20,942,198, showing that net buying pressure has accumulated significantly by the end of the period.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the market showed a different picture. The 7-day average buy ratio was 48.8%, meaning the current 24-hour ratio of 49.2% is only marginally higher by 0.5 points. Trading volume has been subdued, sitting at 0.68x the weekly average, which indicates lower participation than usual. Net buying days were limited to just 2 out of the last 7 days. Over the 8-day period, the price changed by +5.2%, but the total volume delta was negative at -$28,488,696, suggesting that recent gains occurred on net selling pressure over the longer timeframe.
