XRP Technical Indicators
- Trading Volume
XRP’s volume remained relatively flat over the last few days as XRP lacked the momentum to overpower its current range.
- Relative Strength Index
The RSI depicts bullishness with higher lows. However, the indicator needs to climb past the 50-level as being near the oversold territory means weak strength.
- Moving Average Convergence Divergence
The MACD is nearing a bullish cross completion. However, the prevailing market situation might prevent this as BTC and ETH hover in bearish attitudes.
