The <span>crypto<\/span> token remained under pressure after repeated failures near the mid-$1.40 range, with sellers keeping <span>XRP<\/span> near the lower end of its recent trading structure. Still, recent candles showed some stabilization around $1.33 as the price attempted to hold nearby support.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_817458\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-817458\" style=\"width:1130px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-817458\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"> <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s 4-hour chart on May 26 via Bitstamp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>An analysis <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoquant.com\/insights\/quicktake\/6a158ea0e4d9ce4e66116744-XRP-Binance-Net-Taker-Volume-Hits-Two-Month-Low-at-83M-Deeper-Than-April-2s-58M-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">shared<\/a> by on-chain and market data analytics firm Cryptoquant on May 26 showed <span>XRP<\/span> absorbed a sharp Binance sell-pressure event on May 23, while price action held above its earlier April low. Binance Cumulative Net Taker <span>Volume<\/span> fell to about negative $83 million as <span>XRP<\/span> traded near $1.31. That was deeper than the April 2, 2026, reading of about negative $58 million near $1.28.<\/p>\n<p>Binance Cumulative Net Taker <span>Volume<\/span> tracks aggressive selling against aggressive buying on the exchange. The May 23 print showed stronger seller activity than the April 2 stress event, yet <span>XRP<\/span> held above that earlier price zone. Price later recovered toward $1.35, turning the move into a key absorption test for traders watching Binance flows, futures positioning, and short-term <span>liquidity<\/span>. Highlighting stronger market resilience despite heavier taker-driven selling pressure, the analysis noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201c <span>XRP<\/span> faced one of its sharpest Binance sell-pressure events in nearly two months on May 23, but the market did not follow through with a deeper breakdown.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The signal centered on Binance, where futures activity often shapes short-term <span>XRP<\/span> sentiment. The deeper negative taker- <span>volume<\/span> reading showed sellers pressed harder than they did in early April. <span>XRP<\/span>\u2019s higher low added a different message. Buyers met the sell wave before it pushed price beneath the prior stress zone. That kept attention on whether the $1.31 to $1.35 area can remain a <span>liquidity<\/span> base.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_817453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-817453\" style=\"width:1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-817453 size-full\" title=\"XRP Holds Key Support as Binance Sell Wave Falls Short of Breakdown\" src=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk.jpg\" alt=\"XRP Holds Key Support as Binance Sell Wave Falls Short of Breakdown\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk-190x107.jpg 190w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk-760x428.jpg 760w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/xrp-binance-cumulative-net-taker-volume_nwmk.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-817453\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Binance Cumulative Net Taker <span>Volume<\/span> for <span>XRP<\/span>.

Multiple rebounds during May lost momentum beneath resistance zones, leading to lower highs and persistent selling pressure. The latest move pushed <span>XRP<\/span> close to the lower Bollinger Band, while price remained below key moving averages. <span>Volume<\/span> expanded during several sharp declines, then moderated as <span>XRP<\/span> consolidated near current levels, suggesting <span>bearish<\/span> momentum slowed but had not fully reversed.<\/p>\n<p>Lower <span>liquidity<\/span> conditions can increase the impact of sudden buying or selling activity because fewer resting orders exist to absorb price swings. The analysis described the current environment as one of caution and anticipation, with traders monitoring whether <span>liquidity<\/span> conditions improve alongside price stability, adding:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWhile low <span>liquidity<\/span> is not inherently a direct <span>bullish<\/span> or <span>bearish<\/span> signal, it reflects a state of caution and anticipation within the market, especially given the reduced activity compared to previous periods of stronger inflows and higher <span>liquidity<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Current market conditions leave <span>XRP<\/span> between resilient price support and unusually thin Binance <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/what-is-liquidity\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">liquidity<\/a>.
