XRP/USD: Has the sharp decline stopped?

XRP has shown the biggest decline over the last few days. The drop has made up almost 30% over the last 24 hours.

XRP/USD chart by TradingView

On the hourly chart, XRP might have stopped its sharp drop and is ready to show short-term growth. The value of the RSI indicator has bounced off the oversold area, which means that the decline may not continue.

However, the bullish trend has not arrived yet and the sideways trend is the more likely scenario now. In this case, XRP may trade in the range of $0.37-$0.40.

XRP/USD chart by TradingView

On the bigger time frame, XRP has more chances for growth as the bullish divergence has already been formed. A correction to the closest resistance at $0.40 is possible. However, such a move is just a bounce off but not the revival of the recent price rise.

XRP/USD chart by TradingView

On the daily chart, XRP has not reached the zone at which most of the liquidity is focused. Thus, the selling trading volume remains high, which means that the drop has not been finished. A potential reversal may occur when the coin touches the support at around $0.20.

XRP is trading at $0.3385 at press time.eth
