Trading in the crypto market has peaked once again as many traders gravitate back towards the largest capitalization altcoins. The asset that has garnered the most attention this week is XRP. The latest report is showing an uptick in both total leveraged trading and margin call liquidations as traders continue to prepare their positions for the upcoming December.

As noted in the heat map above, there is currently a concentration of liquidity just above the recent highs, which will likely result in liquidations occurring if there is a breakout of the current trading range.

The second chart shows the number of people who have become liquidated on the coin and also how those liquidations have increased over the last 24 hours, based on the amount of leverage that has been used as a result of the lowering of trading ranges over the last few months.
The data does not show which way the market will be trading next; however, it does indicate how many participants are entering into the market using leverage, which could lead to additional price volatility.
The pattern of liquidation activity surrounding the coin indicates that the current trend is anything but a clear bullish or bearish one. Rather, there are many leveraged traders positioned at significant support and resistance levels in anticipation of larger market movements as volatility increases; thus, these liquidation zones could serve as the backdrop for substantial price fluctuations.
