Ali noted that XRP was moving within an ascending parallel channel. If the pattern is to be taken into account, the token could drop to $0.55 before bouncing back from that level.

Possibilities of XRP going further down
AMBCrypto’s look at Santiment’s data revealed that XRP’s MVRV ratio plummeted last week. Network growth also transitioned, meaning fewer new addresses were being created to transfer the token at the time of writing.
At the same time, XRP’s Binance Funding Rate remained in the green as its price plummeted. This suggested that derivatives investors were actively buying the shares sign at the lower price, increasing the chance of a further downward trend.
