- Expectation of continued weakness over the weekend, similar to Bitcoin.
- XRP:
- Testing a crucial support area between $0.130 and $0.140.

- The 2-hour RSI has hit oversold territory for the first time since late February.
- Expectation of a short-term reset out of oversold, possibly a slight bounce or sideways consolidation, slowing down bearish action within the next day.
