Bearing this in mind, it seems quite obvious that the crypto tokens were sold at a loss given XRP’s price action in the last 24 hours. At the time of writing, XRP was reporting losses in line with the rest of the crypto market, down 1.09% in the last 24 hours to $0.611.
The XRP price saw immense volatility on Dec. 4, causing it to fluctuate in a large trading range on this day. As seen on TradingView, XRP touched lows of $0.584 while reaching highs of $0.643 on Binance.
As a result, a long outside-day candlestick pattern formed, signifying a fierce battle between bulls and bears. Currently, the bears are in control, with XRP trading down daily.
That said, the $0.64 and $0.57 levels remain the critical levels to watch for the XRP price, as these constitute immediate resistance and support levels.
If buyers push the price above $0.64, XRP may move on to $0.67 and, eventually, $0.74. Instead, if the price falls below $0.57, the pair may fall to $0.46.
CoinShares, an asset manager, reported $176 million in digital asset inflows in the previous week. This increases the total to a 10-week high of $1.76 billion, the largest since the launch of a futures-based ETF in the United States in October 2021.
XRP witnessed $0.5 million in inflows, indicating that investors remain bullish on the coin.
