However, with the broader market structure, and profit-booking by investors, the XRP price retreated to the swing lows of $0.62 in February. Since then XRP has been trading in a short-term trading range of $0.70 and $0.90.
In addition to that, the XRP price remains pressured below the critical 200-day and 50-day EMAs (exponential moving average) since April 6. This makes the recovery of the asset more challenging.

The price could plunge toward the horizontal support zone at $0.62 followed by the lows of January 24 at $0.55.
