A price swing can be witnessed in the short-term as the market has opened up to large volatility represented by the divergence of the Bollinger Bands. However, the market sentiment was appearing bearish as the signal line remained above the price bars. Although the 50 moving average was at a crucial point of deciding the fate of the market, at press time.
This break in value came as the ascending channel broke down, and the value of XRP was pushed lower. The Relative Strength Index, however, re-adjusted to equilibrium given the correction. If the value of XRP was able to breach the $0.2440, the coin may witness an upward momentum and might be able to re-visit the local peak. However, the movement of the coin can be confirmed when the moving average picks a track.
