XRP Short Positions Build as Santiment Examines $0.99 Call
Santiment data shows three active XRP short sellers adding about 2.1 million tokens while a trader’s $0.99 price call drew scrutiny.
Santiment data shows three active XRP short sellers adding about 2.1 million tokens while a trader’s $0.99 price call drew scrutiny. XRP (XRP) is trading at ₹109 ($1.16). This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by Bitcoin.com, with live market data added, as of Sun, 08 Nov 2026 05:00:01 UTC.
The growing short positions show bearish conviction among traders tracking XRP wallets, while the token’s 7-day decline provides context for assessing the early success of the $0.99 call.
- Three active XRP short sellers added roughly 2.1 million XRP since late October.
- Only one of Santiment’s most profitable tracked XRP wallets remained long as of Nov. 6.
- XRP trades at $1.16, down 7.01% over seven days.
- Total crypto market capitalization stands at $2.61 trillion, with sentiment still in fear territory.
Santiment’s wallet tracking identified three active 
XRP short sellers that had accumulated approximately 2.1 million XRP since late October. As of Nov. 6, only one wallet among those considered among the most profitable XRP wallets tracked by the analytics platform was positioned long, according to 
Bitcoin.com’s report.
The report also highlighted a trader’s $0.99 call for XRP. Santiment used that position to examine whether a broader market decline helped the call succeed early, placing the short activity and the price target within the context of recent market weakness.
XRP was trading at $1.16 at the time of the supplied market snapshot, up 0.37% over 24 hours but down 7.01% over seven days. Its market capitalization was $73.77 billion. The token remained above the cited $0.99 call price, although the supplied data do not establish when the trader entered that position or its subsequent performance.
The wider crypto market was comparatively flat, with total capitalization at $2.61 trillion and Bitcoin up 0.02% over 24 hours. The Fear & Greed index stood at 28, indicating fear. That backdrop is relevant to Santiment’s question about whether market-wide weakness contributed to the short sellers’ positioning, but the report does not provide enough information to separate that effect from moves specific to XRP.
The development matters because the growth in XRP short positions contrasts with the token’s continued positive price relative to the $0.99 call. The next data points to watch are whether the tracked short sellers add exposure or reduce it, whether additional profitable wallets turn long or short, and whether XRP’s weekly decline and broader fear reading persist.
Since this brief published about 3 hours ago, XRP (XRP) has moved from ₹109.17$1.16 to ₹109.17$1.16 — +0.00%.
The chart plots XRP's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 XRP ≈ ₹119.48 (about $1.16), up 0.4% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.4% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
