XRP may be setting up for a large upside liquidation event even as price action remains fragile in the short term, according to Cryptoinsightuk analyst Will Taylor, who argued in a March 24 video that leverage positioning, funding data, and broader market structure still point to a higher move later in the cycle. Taylor’s core claim is not that XRP has bottomed cleanly or that downside risk has disappeared. It is that the balance of leverage, sentiment, and liquidity remains skewed in a way that could eventually force price higher, particularly if crypto gets a supportive macro or policy catalyst. Bullish XRP Liquidity Builds Above A large part of that thesis rests on liquidation maps. Looking at XRP, Taylor said there is “quite significant liquidity” below current levels in the near term, especially around $1.25 to $1.21. But he stressed that the more important picture appears on the higher-timeframe view, where the density of liquidation liquidity is far greater above the market than below it. Related Reading: XRP Price Will Not Move The Way People Think, Here’s A Better Pattern “Significant upside liquidity,” he said. “Again, look at the difference between the denseness of all this liquidity on the right compared to the left. Now, yes, there’s liquidity down towards a dollar, down towards 94 cent, but all the way up to and even including $3.59, there’s substantial liquidity for XRP.” He then put numbers on that imbalance. On the downside, Taylor pointed to roughly $20 million in short-term liquidity around $1.24. On the upside, he said the map shows around $300 million near $3.38 and another roughly $300 million near $3.60. That contrast, he argued, is one reason he continues to lean bullish despite the market’s weak tone. “It’s so much liquidity to the right-hand side,” Taylor said. “And I think that’s something people need to watch for here.” Taylor tied that setup to derivatives sentiment. He said XRP has already gone through eight consecutive weeks of negative aggregated funding, with the current week potentially becoming a ninth if it were to close negative. According to him, the only comparable stretch came at the 2022 bear-market low. Related Reading: Bitcoin, XRP Rallies Won’t Hold Until Oil Falls Toward $80, Expert Warns “We’ve had eight weeks of negative funding,” he said. “The only other time we’ve had that was here, which was the bottom of the bear market in 2022. So, I do think that people are underestimating sentimentally and structurally where we could be in crypto right now.” Still, Taylor did not present the case as a straight-line breakout. He repeatedly warned that XRP could continue compressing inside what he described as a descending wedge or bull-flag-type structure, and that a deeper flush remains possible before any larger move develops. “It doesn’t mean we have to go up here and break straight out to the upside,” he said. “This is also possible to happen… You could just chill and go down like that. But all this is compression of volatility. And when that compression of volatility gets realized, the moves more if we do that, if we go down to say like $1 by June, the move to the upside will be even more explosive than it would be if we move now.” He floated several possible catalysts, including progress on crypto legislation such as the Clarity Act, broader monetary easing from the Federal Reserve, or some other US policy move that could improve liquidity conditions. “I do think there’s going to be some sort of narrative that comes out that’s going to be quite positive for the markets,” he said. “I think the Clarity Act could be one of the things that we really start to lean on.” At press time, XRP traded at $1.42.
