The price of XRP experienced an increase after surpassing the $0.50 mark; however, it has recently undergone a fresh decline. Analyzing the daily chart, the altcoin has depreciated by approximately 3%, whereas the weekly chart shows an appreciation of about 6%.
The technical outlook for XRP indicates a bearish bias due to a decrease in demand and accumulation shown on the chart. Buying strength has weakened following the coin’s drop below the $0.50 threshold.
As Bitcoin entered the $30,000 price range, other major altcoins also began to appreciate on their respective charts but remained constrained beneath immediate resistance levels. So it is crucial for XRP to surpass the $0.50 mark to enable an upward movement.

Currently, the $0.50 price level acts as a significant barrier that needs to be converted into immediate support. If the altcoin manages to consistently trade above $0.50 for a substantial number of sessions, it may initiate a rally.
The market capitalization of XRP has also declined, indicating a decrease in buying strength.

Despite a slight recovery attempt in buying strength, investor confidence was dampened by the recent price dip. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) was positioned just below the half-line, suggesting that sellers outnumbered buyers at the time of writing.
Additionally, the price of the asset dropped below the 20-Simple Moving Average line, indicating a decline in demand and signaling that sellers were driving the price momentum in the market.

Despite a decline in sell signals on the daily chart though, XRP remained under the control of sellers. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), which illustrates price momentum and its changes, displayed red signal bars associated with sell signals.
The Bollinger Bands, which indicate the price volatility and fluctuations, were wide but parallel, suggesting that XRP may not trade within a narrow range.
Given this, it will still face significant challenges in surpassing the $0.51 price level. However, a move above this level is anticipated to reignite demand, potentially propelling the price higher.
