XRP and XLM have both been pumping recently—but their long/short ratios tell a very different story.

Why are traders taking such contrasting positions on two tokens with similar price action? Let’s dive in.

Here’s the long/short data:

XRP/USDT

💎 Long/Short Ratio: 2.79

✅ Long Orders: 73.6%

❌ Short Orders: 26.4%

XLM/USDT

💎 Long/Short Ratio: 0.78

✅ Long Orders: 43.93%

❌ Short Orders: 56.07%

Despite both tokens showing strong pumps recently, traders seem far more bullish on XRP, while XLM is leaning towards more short positions.

What’s driving this divergence?

➡️ Different levels of confidence in fundamentals?

➡️ XLM overheated after the massive surge?

➡️ Sentiment shifts?
