XRP looks for a bearish reversal
On the daily chart, the XRP price slips below the crucial 200-EMA (Exponential Moving Average) at $0.84. Now, it holds around the reliable support placed at $0.80. Looking at the previous trend, the XRP price glides inside the ‘Symmetrical triangle’ formation after testing the lows of $0.62 in late February.
Now, if the price breaks the mentioned support level, then it will dive toward the horizontal $0.70 level. Further, intense selling pressure could pull toward the lows of February at $0.62.
On the contrary, a daily close above the 200-EMA amid a shift in the bullish sentiment would invalidate the bearish outlook of the pair. The first upside target could be found at the psychological $0.90 mark.
Next, market participants would approach the highs of December 23 at $1.01.
XRP price tested the record lows in late January at $0.54. The price surged nearly 68% to the swing highs of $0.91. Since then, XRP is gliding inside the ‘Symmetrical triangle’ formation. The next move will depend upon the breakout in either direction.
