- XRP price bleeds 10% on Thursday amid extensive selling momentum on Thursday.

XRP price continues south
XRP price nosedives with heavy trading volumes and looks weak on all-time-frames. The price roll down multiple stoppages on the weekly chart. The bearish outlook holds strong for the coin, as a breakdown of crucial support level around $0.40 would knock down XRP towards further lower levels.
On the daily chart, the XRP price has been consolidating near the demand zone extending from $0.65 to $0.70 since February. However, the range is broken on April 25, finally, although the warning signal appeared on April 17. XRP slipped below the crossover of 20-day and 50-day EMAs (Exponential Moving Average). The price recorded descent of nearly 50% to the swing lows of $0.33.
The panic selling mode in the broader crypto market added to the woes of the already depreciating asset. In addition to that, the trading volume fully supported the downswing with a promise to explore the $0.21 level, the level last seen in January 2021.
On the other hand, a spike in buying orders could challenge the prevailing trend. The price could bounce back to recoup the previous session high of $0.50. Further, an acceptance above the mentioned level could see $0.60 in the next few session.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) fell sharply below the average line while it approaches the oversold zone. It reads at 19. As of press time, XRP/USD reads at $0.38 with a loss of 8.94% for the day.
