Notably, XRP, the sixth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has been in a long-term downtrend since late March 2023, when it plummeted from the $0.58 price level.
Ever since all XRP breakout attempts have met with staunch resistance from determined bears. Regardless of the failed attempt, XRP holders still want the XRP bulls to win in the long run.

Notably, XRP has seen significant price gains over the past few days, rising 14% between May 16 and May 19. This recovery move met resistance again at the $0.4755 price level.
Why XRP needs to close above $0.52 and $0.58
Egrag, another prominent analyst in the XRP community, also highlighted the Crypto asset’s current short-term bearish position.
According to the seasoned analyst, XRP is still in a descending channel, a pattern that began in late March when it fell from $0.58, which was also highlighted by Crypto Rand.
Egrag emphasized that XRP may continue this bearish trend in the short term until it breaks out successfully. His bearish targets are the $0.4282 and $0.37 range.
He added that a close above $0.52 and $0.58 would signal the start of a bullish trend.

The analyst concluded that XRP is a bright Crypto asset in the long run, noting that the current situation does not change anything for its future.
Egrag wrote, “Where does XRP stand? Short term: XRP remains in a downtrend channel until it breaks to the upside and we may continue the #bearish trend in the short term. Likely target: 0.4282c 0.37c range still possible. Closed at 0.52 c and above 0.58c are early signs of bullish momentum in play. Long term: nothing has changed, we’re going to Valhalla.”
