The price action in a higher time frame of XRP, such as the 1-day, showed that the asset has been trending up since March. Since mid-May, the bulls have had a harder time getting the rally started. They reached the local high of $0.566 on June 13, but the price has been falling ever since.
On the 4-hour chart, both the market structure and trend of XRP have been bearish, but the buyers have vigorously defended the $0.46 support zone. During this time, XRP saw a short but strong increase to $0.528 on June 22, before dropping to $0.45 by the end of June.
The OBV was also in a slow downward trend, showing that the sellers had the upper hand. The RSI has also been below the neutral 50 in recent days to highlight bearish momentum. Still, the bulls refused to relinquish the $0.46 zone.
XRP’s price action has led to lower volatility over the past two weeks. The $0.5 level is important psychologically and technically, and the daily timeframe chart showed that bulls had an advantage since March. Therefore, XRP could be in a phase of accumulation, but the OBV does not reflect this.

Over the past week, outstanding interest fluctuated from $420 million to $450 million. On July 7, it began to rise alongside XRP prices, which rose a stingy 1.47% from $0.4642 to $0.4725. Still, the rise in OI was indicative of optimistic conviction, albeit a very weak one.

The spot CVD chart also rose in sudden spurts on July 4 and 7. This showed that there were more buyers than sellers in the lower time frames. It was possible that this could be the start of a slow rally.
Swing traders can wait for a breakout past the $0.5 zone. In addition, the price must beat the recent lower high of $0.5272 before an uptrend can be initiated.
