Moving Averages

The XRP price is analyzed alongside the 10- and 20-day moving averages (MA) below.

On June 10, the 10-day MA crossed below the 20-day one. This is known as a bearish cross and often indicates that a downtrend has begun.

Moving Averages

The XRP price is trading below both moving averages, facing very close resistance from the 10-day MA. Furthermore, the latter coincides with the resistance line of the descending channel.
