The price of XRP is currently trading below the 9-day and 20-day EMA lines after it declined significantly over the last week. The remittance token’s daily chart looks bearish at press time as the 9-day EMA is positioned below the 20-day EMA and the daily RSI line is sloped negatively towards the oversold territory.

Furthermore, the daily RSI line is positioned below the daily RSI SMA line. The 9-day EMA line is also breaking away below the 20-day EMA line, which suggests that the bearish pressure on XRP’s daily chart is growing stronger.

XRP whales and sharks have seen the continued price drop as an opportunity to acquire XRP coins. A tweet posted by Santiment, the blockchain analytics firm, shows that XRP addresses holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP have been rapidly accumulating as 2022 comes to an end.
