- XRP dropped by 11%, but market sentiment around the token turned bullish.
- A few market indicators looked positive, but the rest suggested otherwise.
Ripple’s [XRP] price has remained under bearish control for the last week, which has not allowed investors to earn profits.
Though at first glance this looked concerning, there were chances of a recovery in the days to come.
A look at XRP’s state
AMBCrypto reported earlier that XRP’s performance was not on par with other altcoins like Ethereum [ETH], as it failed to register gains.
The trend continued to persist, as according to CoinMarketCap, XRP’s price dropped by more than 11% in the last seven days.
At the time of writing, the token was trading at $0.5105 with a market capitalization of over $27.7 billion.
However, we also mentioned that the token’s price was moving in a falling wedge, which is a bullish pattern. Furthermore, the latest data also supported the chances of an XRP recovery.
On the 3rd of February, X (formerly Twitter) account JackTheRippler noted that if XRP makes a recovery, its price can revisit an old resistance zone.

If XRP manages to break above $0.532, we could see the token revisit the $0.696 resistance level. To check the viability of that, AMBCrypto took a look at the token’s daily chart.
The token’s MACD displayed a bullish crossover.
Our analysis found that the token‘s price rebounded after touching the lower limit of the Bollinger bands, indicating a price uptick soon.
Another bullish indicator was the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which spiked substantially.
Nonetheless, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) remained bearish, as it was resting well below the neutral mark at press time.

Regardless, its social volume remained low.
