Key Support level: $0.70

Key Resistance levels: $0.96, $1

XRP has been caught in a large range since a week ago between the key resistance at $0.96 and support at $0.70. After setting a local high at $0.91, the cryptocurrency has been consolidating without sufficient momentum to break away from this range.

The current price action has formed a large pennant (represented in blue on the below chart), which is likely to resolve soon.

Technical Indicators

Trading Volume: The volume continues to decline as the consolidation progresses. However, once the price breaks away from the pennant, the volume may return.

RSI: The daily RSI  has made a lower high and is falling, this suggests a possible bearish scenario in the near term.

MACD: Similar to the volume, the MACD histogram has been falling, making lower highs since the consolidation started. While the MACD remains bullish, the moving averages are falling and may complete a bearish cross if XRP breaks below the pennant.
