In this bearish market sentiment, short sellers are highly active and are creating more short positions compared to long buyers. This is the third consecutive day of this week where the overall market continues to experience downside momentum. Amid this selling pressure, short sellers believe that Ripple’s native token XRP won’t reach the $0.619 level, according to an on-chain analytic firm CoinGlass.
