The market structure on the daily chart was firmly bullish. The mid-range mark at $0.585 was flipped to support. Additionally, the OBV cleared the local highs from May to signal strong buying pressure during the price rally.
The RSI was also well above neutral 50 to show bullish momentum. As things stand, XRP could advance to the range highs at $0.71.
On Friday, the 19th of July, XRP dropped as far south as $0.54 and bounced past $0.59 after that. The inference was that $0.54, the former range (yellow) highs, and $0.585 are expected to serve as support in the coming days.
After the move to $0.635, such a deep drop meant that overleveraged longs or late bulls would have been liquidated. This would have set up the price for a more sustainable move upward.
