XRP Price: Technical Indicators
The price of XRP is analyzed at daily intervals alongside the RSI in the first graph and alongside the 10- and 20-day moving averages (MA) in the second. On May 15, the Ripple price (XRP) reached a high of $0.478. A gradual decrease was followed by an increase. A similar high was reached on May 30.
During this same interval, the RSI reached lower highs. This is known as bearish divergence and often precedes price decreases.
The divergence gains more validity since it is occurring in a double top, which is a bearish reversal pattern.
Furthermore, this view is supported by the moving averages, which are outlined in the graph below.
On Jun 3, the price began a rapid downward move, which created a bearish engulfing candle. The continuing decrease on Jun 4 brought the price below both MAs, which are now providing resistance to the XRP price.
However, a bearish cross between them is yet to occur.
Furthermore, the three daily candles with values above $0.45 have been characterized with long upper wicks. This is a sign that there is selling pressure above that level.
The use of these indicators supports further price decreases.
Reversal Areas
One support area and one resistance area is traced for Ripple (XRP) below.
The closest support area is found near $0.37. If the XRP price keeps decreasing at the rate predicted by the channel, it will reach this area on Jun 10. The analysis of technical indicators supports this hypothesis.
The closest resistance area is found near $0.42. It coincides with the resistance line of the wedge. A significant increase against the current trend would be required for the Ripple price to reach this area. We do not believe this to be likely.
Summary
To conclude, the Ripple price (XRP) made a high on May 30 and is currently trading inside a descending channel. Furthermore, it has created a double top pattern combined with bearish divergence in long-term timeframes. This bearish reversal pattern and the reading from the technical indicators make it likely that the price will eventually reach the support area outlined above.
