Technical analysis: XRP breaks $0.50, falls further
Ripple fell again on Wednesday, lingering around $0.50. Since March 11, when it peaked at $0.7440, the cryptocurrency has cycled downward.
At $0.50, XRP is near important support. Relative Strength Index (RSI), a momentum oscillator, is 39.40, possibly moving into the oversold zone below 30. RSI faked a break above the neutral line on April 22. The price and RSI are falling, confirming the downturn.
Red histogram bars below the neutral line indicate Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) on weekly and 4-hour time periods.
A daily candlestick close over $0.50 might disprove the bearish argument, and $0.5314 is XRP's next obstacle. This matches the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the April 9 high to April 13 low of $0.4203.
