The year-long range (purple) has its mid-point at $0.585. XRP formed another range here that stretched from $0.553-$0.617. At press time, it was trading near the lows of the range.
The OBV has not sunk too deep in recent days. Over the past three weeks, it managed to form a series of slightly higher lows, which meant that traders could expect this dip to be bought as well.
At the same time, the Awesome Oscillator dropped below neutral 50 to signal bearish momentum on the rise. This came in response to the price rejection at the $0.62 zone on Saturday, 24 August.
Lower timeframe traders can use the $0.54-$0.55 zone to bid XRP expecting a price bounce to $0.617-$0.62.
