XRP sellers dodged a slight consolidation, stretching between $0.87 and $0.68, on 25 April. Losing the foothold freed trapped bearish strength and dragged the remittance token towards the January bottom support floor at $0.58.
Vital Points
- XRP price plummeted by nearly 25.56% within the past two weeks.
- Possible fallout from $0.55 would cancel XRP’s bullish outlook.
- Ripple’s intraday trading volume stands at $1.8 billion, showing a 4.1% drop.
The remittance token has seen its price movements restricted within the barrier of $1 – $0.55 since the bloodbath of November 2021, which saw XRP plunging beneath its psychological mark of $1. For that reason, the cross-border transaction token saw range-bound rallies for five months as it awaits genuine breakouts.
The latest reversal from the resistance at $0.88 slumped the alt to the $0.685 local foothold. Moreover, buyers triggered a brief relief rally that encountered an almost immediate reversal to breach the footing at $0.685.
For now, XRP has its price hovering around $0.6, indicating a 31.8% loss from the $0.88 swing peak resistance. The alt gradually approaches the January lower foothold near $0.55, a significant accumulation level for traders.
If Ripple price bounces from this foothold, the buying momentum resurgence will propel the alt to $0.68, then $0.88, extending the range-bound rally for more sessions.
On the other hand, losing the $0.55 support flows would depict downside resumption and may catalyze a 31% fall towards the $0.4 value area.
XRP Technical Indicators
The somewhat flat 50, 100, and 200 Exponential Moving Averages highlight XRP’s sideways rally. Nevertheless, the token moving under these EMAs plus a possible bearish cross between the 50EMA and 100EMA affirms sellers’ preference.
The increasing gap between the signal lines and Moving Average Convergence Divergence show surging bearish momentum for the altcoin.
- Resistance levels – $0.73, then $0.78
- Support floors – $0.7m then $0.63.
