Retail traders on Binance, OKX, and Bybit show strong bullish sentiment for XRP despite recent market volatility. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹125 ($1.31). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by The Crypto Basic, with live market data added, as of Sat, 17 Oct 2026 05:15:02 UTC.

Why it matters

This shift in retail sentiment could indicate increased confidence in XRP's price trajectory, potentially influencing trading volumes and short-term price movements. It also highlights how individual traders are positioning themselves amid broader market uncertainty.

Key takeaways
  • XRP retail sentiment is extremely bullish on Binance, OKX, and Bybit.
  • Traders favor long positions over shorts, expecting price increases.
  • Sentiment shift comes amid a week of market volatility and selloffs.

Retail sentiment for XRP has shifted to an extremely bullish stance on major cryptocurrency exchanges Binance, OKX, and Bybit. This development comes despite a recent market selloff driven by macroeconomic factors that has impacted the broader cryptocurrency market.

Data from Coinglass, as reported by The Crypto Basic, indicates that retail traders on these exchanges are favoring long positions over short positions. This suggests that individual traders expect XRP prices to increase in the near term.

The sentiment shift is notable given the current market conditions. This week has seen a significant selloff across the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies experiencing price declines.

The total cryptocurrency market cap stands at $2.81 trillion, with the overall market remaining relatively flat. Bitcoin has declined by 0.60% in the past 24 hours, while XRP itself is down 1.81% over the same period, trading at $1.31. Despite this, the bullish sentiment on XRP persists.

The Fear & Greed Index currently sits at 55, indicating a state of 'Greed' in the market. This suggests that while there is some optimism, the market is still experiencing volatility.
