XRP witnessed a down-channel breakout on 16 December after the bulls retested the upper trendline (yellow) thrice. Well, after the 3 December plunge, the alt oscillated between the $0.88-mark (16-week long resistance) and the $0.765-mark.

After hitting its monthly milestone on 10 November, the alt performed quite loosely as it noted a 38.69% loss since then. Now, the 20-EMA (white) stood as the immediate support before a possible upturn. However, as the broader trend was bearish, the bulls will need increased force to turn the tide in their favor.

At press time, XRP traded at $0.825. The RSI was just above the midline after a 14 point surge over the past day. Further, the DMI hinted at a slight bullish preference, but the ADX was drastically weak. The
