What it shows on XRP

Inside each candle, every row has two numbers, counted in XRP. The left one is what was sold into the bid at that price, the right one what was bought from the ask. A bar behind each number grows out from the middle of the cell, so the busiest prices catch the eye first. Below the chart, a table lists each candle's volume, its delta (bought minus sold) and delta as a share of volume.

How to read it

The steps are the same as for Bitcoin and are explained with examples on the footprint chart page: start with each candle's delta, find the point of control, look for imbalances and stacked imbalances, check the edges of the candle for thin trading, and compare the numbers with the liquidity resting in the heatmap behind them. Stacked imbalance zones are covered in the stacked imbalance guide.

What it can't tell you

The footprint records trading that already happened in the XRP perpetual futures market Swiftedge records. It leaves out other venues and the underlying market, and says nothing about where price goes next. It is a precise record of who traded where, not a signal.

Common questions

Is there a free XRP footprint chart?

Yes. Swiftedge Depth draws a live footprint chart for XRP in the browser, free and without an account. Open XRP Depth and pick the footprint icon in the top bar.

Where does the XRP data come from?

Every trade in the XRP perpetual futures market Swiftedge records, with each trade's own aggressor side, so the split between buying and selling at each price is measured, not estimated. It is not the whole market.

Does XRP have the same tools as Bitcoin?

Yes. Candlesticks, the footprint chart, stacked imbalance zones, the imbalance readout, VWAP, CVD, liquidations, Positioning, alerts and the drawing tools work the same way.
