Ripple Recorded Today Its Lowest Price Since 2017: Can XRP Recover From Here? Analysis & Overview

XRP saw a steep price decline of around 5.15% over the past 24 hours and it currently trades at $0.22. During the day, the cryptocurrency dropped to as low as $0.19 creating a fresh low that hasn’t been seen for almost 2 years.

Despite this, there are still some positive developments within the Ripple ecosystem. For example, Mercury FX, a global currency exchange provider, has recently announced its plans to expand the use of On-Demand Liquidity (formerly xRapid) – an XRP-based payment solution provided by Ripple. 

XRP remains the third-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $9.52 billion.

• The trading volume remains quite high but still beneath the average level for October 2019.
• The RSI has recently reached extreme oversold conditions which shows a very bearish market for XRP. For signs of a recovery, we will look for the RSI to rise toward 50 to show that the bearish pressure is diminishing. Furthermore, the Stochastic RSI has been in oversold conditions for the entire period of November and is primed for a bullish crossover signal which should send the market higher.
