XRP Daily Price Chart

XRP sustained a death cross after its 50 DMA [Pink] moved below the 200 DMA [Yellow] on the 19th of June. This was accompanied by the digital token’s price which gradually spiraled down. Interestingly, this is the first death cross in five months. The 100 DMA [Yellow], on the other hand, continued to hover above the price candlesticks resisting any upward price action The ill-fated volume continued to impede the asset’s growth which was trapped inside the rangebound for almost a month.

The Chaikin Money Flow [CMF] fell from the bullish territory depicting a decline in capital inflow to the coin market. The Klinger Oscillator [KO] was also on the verge of a bearish crossover. The Relative Strength Index [RSI] was also nearing the extreme oversold conditions.

Immediate support is at $0.54, a level that was last seen almost a month back. If the bulls fail to defend this area, XRP could slash half of its gains to test another support level of $0.21.
