- XRP, Dogecoin and Mantra observed a large volume of long-position liquidations in the last 24 hours.
- Derivatives traders betting on price rally in XRP, DOGE and OM are paying for shorts as the three tokens recover slightly on Tuesday.
- Altcoin season index points at more pain for traders in the short term.
Altcoins are recovering on Tuesday as the dust settles on US President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements last week. The President has repeatedly changed his mind on several tariff-related concerns, ushering volatility in Bitcoin and altcoin prices.
Mantra (OM) rallies nearly 5%, while Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP gains slightly at the time of writing on Tuesday.
XRP, DOGE, OM derivatives traders’ long bets suffer

Meanwhile, XRP Open Interest (OI), the net value of all open positions in the token, is up to $3.21 billion, as XRP gains and adds nearly 1% to its value and trades at $2.1478, above key support at $2, at the time of writing on Tuesday.

At the time of writing on Tuesday, DOGE trades at $0.15912, up 0.32% on the day.
Mantra’s OM token noted $8.85 million in long liquidations in the last 24 hours; a total of $17 million in derivatives positions were liquidated according to Coinglass data. There was a significant decline in OM’s Open Interest, down from $345.66 million on Sunday to $135.99 million.
The long/short ratio is under one, meaning traders expect a correction in OM, and derivatives data analysis supports a bearish thesis for the token.

Altcoin season refers to a period where 75% of the altcoins ranked within the top 50 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization outperform Bitcoin in a 90-day timeframe.
