XRP is currently trading at $1.3232 on Binance. It’s holding just above a support level of $1.3220 after experiencing its biggest single-day drop since April 8th, when prices initially rose following the ceasefire news.

In a recent post that probably took longer to write than it did for XRP to move a penny, CryptoOnchain (yes, that’s their name) declared that XRP might finally stop acting like a sleepy sloth. Their crystal ball? The XRP Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on Binance, which is apparently the new tea leaves of the crypto world.
