Major cryptocurrencies, especially the top ten, are down 2% to 7%; XRP fell 3.82% in the last 24 hours and is about to give up its weekly gains, up just 0.18% in the last seven days. A total of $378 million in crypto liquidations have occurred across the market, according to CoinGlass data.

Along these lines, XRP is seeing a 980% liquidation imbalance because longs, or traders betting on further price increases, got caught up in the market selloff.
