$XRP saw a 214% surge in trading volume as the broader crypto market faced intense selling pressure that liquidated $745 million in positions.

What makes this interesting is the nature of the volume spike—it didn't come during a rally or breakout, but during a selloff, which usually indicates forced activity rather than organic buying or selling.

When volume surges into weakness, it's often the result of cascading liquidations, where leveraged long positions get margin-called and automatically sold, triggering more liquidations in a chain reaction. It's also possible that some participants were frontrunning further downside or that large holders were exiting positions into the volatility.

Either way, this kind of volume profile suggests dislocation, not conviction. Markets tend to stabilize after these liquidation events, but the damage to sentiment can linger.

The question now is whether this was a flush that clears weak hands or the beginning of more sustained pressure.
