On the daily chart, Ripple (XRP) price loiters near the crucial 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at $0.76. Furthermore, the price remains pressured at swing highs of $0.91 retreating nearly 31%.

After testing lows in February at $0.62, XRP faces multiple rejections around the descending trend line from the recent highs.

Now, if the price slips below the mentioned moving average then the first downside target is placed at $0.70. A daily close below the said level will next explore the horizontal support line at $0.62.

Although the current price action seems to be in favor of the bears. However, a spike in buy orders could push the price to test the previous session’s high of $0.80, this will also coincide with closing above the bearish slopping line.

Next, the asset will aim for the critical 200-EMA at $0.85.
