XRP has traded within a range that extended from $0.528 to $0.48 since 2 April. The wave of selling on 19 April did not see a 4-hour trading session close below the range lows. However, it was likely that the mid-range mark at $0.505 will act as resistance.

The RSI was at 37 and showed bearish momentum. A rejection from neutral 50 on the RSI accompanied by XRP price rejection at $0.5 or $0.515 could see the prices resume their downward trajectory.

The Bollinger bands expanded to show heightened volatility, but the 20 SMA had confluence with the mid-range resistance.

The Open Interest also declined by close to $100 million within 24 hours, and highlighted that long positions were caught well off-guard. Recovery was a possibility in the near-term, but the evidence did not support the bulls yet.
