Historically, this pattern has mattered.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2024, XRP reserves on Upbit dropped sharply by roughly 0.8 billion tokens. At the same time, the price surged from $0.50 to $3.29.<\/p>\n<p>That move reflected a clear supply squeeze. Fewer tokens sat on exchanges, and selling pressure collapsed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_559763\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-559763\" style=\"width: 2000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-559763 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul.jpeg 2000w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/ambcrypto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/G-E7tQUa0AAfUul-1200x675.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-559763\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: X<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Now, a similar setup appears to be forming. Upbit reserves have started falling again, while the price is trending higher toward the $2.30 area.<\/p>\n<p>This relationship reinforces a familiar dynamic. When XRP leaves exchanges, holders signal intent to store, not sell. As a result, demand shocks have a greater impact.<\/p>\n<p>Context strengthens this signal. South Korean traders have historically dominated XRP volume, often accounting for 30-50% of global activity.<\/p>\n<p>During periods of heightened local demand, reserves drain quickly. If this decline continues, price volatility should expand.
