The 9-day EMA is currently positioned below the 20-day EMA on XRP’s daily chart, which is a bearish sign. This bearishness may strengthen in the coming days as the daily RSI line is sloped negatively above the daily RSI SMA line. Furthermore, the daily RSI line may cross bearishly below the daily RSI SMA line.

Should this happen, XRP’s price may experience a slight drop towards the support level resting at $0.3712.
