XRP Fall Below the 200-day Moving Average
XRP kept its support around $0.82, 2020 high, in June. However, after much testing, the bears finally managed to break the support level over the weekend.
Yesterday, XRP fell below the 200-day moving average of around $0.72 and fell to the support level of $0.61 (downward of 1.618 Fib Extension). As XRP fell to a 2019 high of around $0.56 today, sales continued. The long-term trend line from the beginning of February provided additional support there.

XRP Short Term Price Prediction
If the seller breaks through $0.56, the initial level of support will be at $0.5. It is followed by $0.478, $0.435 (Fib extension down 1.272), $0.4, and $0.25 (February 2020 high).
On the flip side, the initial resistance is at $0.61. Closely followed by $0.71 (200-day moving average), $0.8282 (2020 high and 20-day moving average), and $0.9.
The daily RSI is extremely oversold, showing the most bearish momentum since December 2020. This suggests that the shorts should overextend and a reversal is expected soon.
