XRP Price Flashes “Sell Signal” As SEC vs Ripple Verdict Comes Close

Ripple’s cross-border settlement token, XRP, has lately been on a short-term relief rally, although experiencing a complete roller coaster ride this year. Since the onset of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) vs. Ripple case in December 2020, the price of XRP has reacted profusely to the latest happenings inside the courtroom. The altcoin is now consolidating around the $0.35 level, as the crypto community awaits the final outcome of the lawsuit.

XRP Price In Danger Zone?

However, according to crypto expert Ali Martinez, who goes by the username @ali_charts on Twitter, is of the opinion that the XRP’s price might experience a halt in its rally due to certain technical indicators. Ali points out that the TD (Tom Denmark) Sequential, which is an instrumental tool designed to identify the exact time of trend exhaustion & price reversal — is indicating a strong “sell signal” on XRP’s four-hour price chart.

He also made the observation that investors should be expecting a bearish pattern for XRP, the 6th largest cryptocurrency, due to the formation of a bearish divergence against the Relative Strength Index (RSI).
