According to Benzinga, XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) climbed to $1.27 on Monday, moving beyond the $1.25 level. The report described the move as a decisive breakout from the descending triangle that had formed in June, making that technical pattern the central point of the price update.
The same report stated that $6.07 million in XRP short positions were liquidated over a 24-hour period. A short position is a trade that benefits from a price decline; when the price moves against that position and reaches exchange risk controls, the position can be forcibly closed, creating liquidation volume.
