Trading volume has dropped by 12% over the past 24 hours to $3.4 billion, from a high of more than $4 billion. Open Interest has also dropped by over 5%, with just 1.45 billion XRP (valued at $3 billion) locked in futures markets. Source: Coinglass
In spite of these declining trends in trading activity, XRP’s price has not imploded. Technical indicators suggest a neutral Relative Strength Index (RSI) of 49, which means selling pressure has dissipated. The Bollinger Bands indicator indicates lower price volatility.
