The XRP market had been deprived of volatility since the second-half of 2019, and finally saw its price peak at $0.3417 in February 2020. However, this was way lower than the top price witnessed in 2019, which was $0.5550. The value of the asset was once again restricted at $0.2777. The price has been moving sideways over the past few days, while the market was expecting more volatility.
As per the divergence of Bollinger Bands, XRP may be hit by volatility, which could cause the price of the digital asset to briefly dip. This bearishness was indicated by the moving average, which remained above the price bars, indicating a reversal of the earlier trend. As the value of the asset remained closed to its immediate support at $0.2670, the value of XRP could bounce back from this point. However, resistance too remained close at $0.2953.
