Not managing to hold may cause the token to drop in value to $1.61 or $1.20. The red line falling from top left to bottom right, which used to be resistance, was retested. Traders are waiting for evidence of whether the market will improve or worsen. Accumulation interest could arise below $1.20, and a warning sign might be placed there to show that buying the asset could be a good idea.Technical indicators showed weakening market sentiment. RSI numbers reached 45.81, which is below its moving average of 58.13. After earlier gains in March, the stock market started to lose some of its earlier speed. The MACD chart indicated that the market was in a bearish trend. The MACD was below the signal line, while the histogram showed -1.27 billion.Source: TradingViewThese signals pointed to more investors wanting to sell, making a continued reduction in XRP likely. So far, the market has been under short-term pressure following the disappearance of earlier momentum. After the price broke above $2.20, some traders sold, which caused another descent in the token. Within the first four hours, the market cap dropped 1.17%, going from $145.75 billion to $143.39 billion.However, a sign of weakness was observed in technicals measured across various periods. Traders are looking at momentum indicators for hints of a shift in trend.Retracement Levels and Cloud Signals Suggest Market PressureOn the 4-hour chart, Fibonacci retracement levels suggest that bulls are losing their strength. Following a high of $155.40 billion, XRP moved lower than the 0.236 level at $147.42 billion. At $142.48 billion and $138.50 billion, the prices based on the 0.382 and 0.5 retracements might provide support. Continued selling may push the market down to reach the 0.618 level, around $134.50 billion.Source: TradingViewThe Ichimoku Cloud indicated that weakness was present even on a short-term basis. The Tenkan-Sen line crossed below the Ripple price, indicating an ending price increase. Oversold conditions prevailed in the market, indicated by a low Stochastic RSI of 8.6 in the 4-hour chart.Source: TradingViewMeanwhile, traders observed that the price of XRP turned away when trying to break through the upper Bollinger Band at $2.65, which is also where the Ichimoku Cloud lies. As all those indicators pointed to a possible reversal, it caused traders to withdraw their funds, which pushed the price down. The tighter point in the Ichimoku Cloud could mean the market will become quite volatile shortly.
