XRP Ledger Just Stumped Out Spoofing Botnets on XRP/RLUSD Pair

The ETF data adds another layer to the current XRP outlook, showing a gap between on-chain usage and investor positioning.

Much of the network activity is tied to the XRP decentralized exchange, especially the XRP/RLUSD pair, where automated systems dominate trading.

XRP DEX Activity Driven By Bots, Ghost Liquidity and Failed Transactions

The XRP DEX has become the center of the current surge, with bots handling most of the activity.

These systems act as market makers, placing buy and sell orders continuously on both sides of the order book.

They frequently cancel and replace offers using the same sequence pattern, adjusting to price changes in real time.

This creates constant movement and adds to the overall transaction count on the network.

Alongside this, traders have pointed to the presence of “ghost walls.” These are large orders placed without real liquidity behind them.

They are used to give the impression of strong market depth, which can influence trading decisions.

This setup leads to a high rate of failed transactions. Many cross-currency payments attempt to execute through these orders but fail because the liquidity is not real.

Market observers say this is intentional and part of how the system is used. Estimates suggest that up to 90% of failed XRP Ledger (XRPL) transactions are linked to these ghost liquidity structures.

While this inflates activity figures, it also shows how the network handles invalid conditions by rejecting trades that cannot be completed.

XRP Price Outlook Signals Key Break Level And Possible Final Dip

Focus has also shifted to price movement, with analyst EGRAG CRYPTO outlining possible paths for XRP.

The key level to watch is $1.80. If XRP breaks above and holds this level, it may move higher without revisiting lower zones.

If it fails, a drop toward the $0.70 to $0.80 range is expected, where liquidity is believed to sit.

The probability of this lower move is placed between 60 and 70%. This fits a pattern seen before, where XRP makes a final dip before entering a strong upward phase.

Longer-term targets remain at $6.80, $10.30, and $31.60. These levels are drawn from different market cycles, including past peaks and recovery structures.

The broader view suggests that XRP is building pressure rather than weakening. The market may either dip once more before rising or break out directly from current levels.
