The selloff triggered over <strong>$5 million in XRP long liquidations<\/strong>, with <strong>Binance accounting for more than $1 million<\/strong>, as leveraged traders were caught off guard amid a broader risk-off move in crypto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The spike in volatility followed reports that European capitals were considering tariffs of up to \u20ac93B (~$108B) on U.S. goods in response to Trump\u2019s Greenland remarks. The news came just days after the U.S. confirmed new tariffs on several European countries starting February 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto markets reacted quickly: Bitcoin dropped from above $95,000 to below $93,000 within hours, wiping out nearly <strong>$500 million in leveraged longs<\/strong> in just an hour. XRP mirrored the market\u2019s fall, amplifying losses for leveraged traders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing, XRP trades around <strong>$2.00<\/strong>, down roughly <strong>5% in 24 hours<\/strong> and about 8% over the past two weeks. The token remains modestly higher than last month, up ~2%, and has gained nearly 39% over the past year. Despite recent inflows of <strong>$57 million into spot XRP ETFs<\/strong>, price strength has been limited, leaving XRP vulnerable to macro-driven risk-off moves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technical analysts had already flagged weakening momentum, noting XRP was trading in a descending channel with buyers showing interest near $2.00 but failing to reclaim higher resistance. The January 18\u201319 selloff reinforced caution, as macro headlines once again outweighed crypto-specific positives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>XRP traders faced heavy losses on January 19 after a sharp market pullback linked to renewed U.S.\u2013EU trade tensions following President Trump\u2019s tariff threats over Greenland.&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-88","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":90,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88\/revisions\/90"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
