XRP’s weak performance is likely to extend to the weekend as it dips 1.36% to $2.11. The volume also dipped by 18.93% in the last 24 hours. The current trend can be mostly attributed to the profit-taking from the rally that pushed the price as high as $2.38.
On January 6, XRP hit its month’s highest price of $2.38, followed by a drop. This week’s highest price was around $2.18, which was also followed by a drop. Yet, today, the price is consolidating in a slightly bearish way.
What Do the Key Technical Indicators Say
The current price and ongoing trends are often shaped by key indicators like momentum and volatility. The indicators in the table show that XRP is mildly weak, but don’t show any signals of a crash or huge upheavals.
| Indicator | Value |
|---|---|
| RSI (14) | 53.2 |
| STOCH (9,6) | 18.7 |
| STOCHRSI (14) | 0.1 |
| MACD (12,26) | 0 |
| CCI (14) | -30.2 |
| ATR (14) | 0.1 |
| ROC | 4.5 |
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is 53.2, signalling that XRP is not swinging to either side now. It’s neither overbought nor oversold. This confirms that the current pullbacks are more likely to be profit-taking and not a trend that will lead to panic selling. The XRP market is cooling down after a small and abrupt rally.
The STOCH, on the other hand, suggests that it’s generally oversold. This indicates that the price is closing near the low end of the current range. Even though selling is high, the price is likely to bounce back shortly once it hits the projected low end.
From an extended context of 17 technical indicators, 7 of them signal a buy, while 5 signal a sell. The support for the current price sits at $2.08, so it’s less likely to fall beyond it. Yet, any major news regarding a shift in legal sentiment may trigger it to fall below the support, which would result in the price falling even lower. In such a scenario, the next support price would be $2.05, a barrier that’s even less likely to break.
The analysts also predict that a closing price above $2.19 would likely lead to an abrupt rise to the next resistance level of $2.29. Yet, both these cases remain speculative and outside this week’s scope.
