How to read the XRP numbers
- RSI
- Relative Strength Index, from 0 to 100. Above 70 the price rose fast and may be stretched (overbought); below 30 it fell fast and may be washed out (oversold). It is a clue about momentum, not a forecast.
- Funding rate
- A small payment between long and short traders on perpetual futures. Positive funding means longs pay shorts (many people are betting on a rise); negative means shorts pay longs.
- Open interest
- The total value of open futures positions. Rising open interest with a rising price means new money is entering; rising open interest with a falling price means new shorts are being opened.
- Long and short
- A long wins if the price rises and a short wins if it falls. Whales often hold both to hedge, so one dominant side is a clue, not proof.
- Liquidation
- When a leveraged position loses so much that the exchange closes it by force. A cluster of liquidations can push the price further in the same direction.
