XRP price dumps and pumps
XRP price is rebounding rather impressively on Thursday, October 13. The digital remittance token, which plunged 10% in the wake of the US Consumer Price Index announcement, experienced the sharpest decline among the top 3 cryptocurrencies. On shorter time frames, the Relative Strength Index entered historically oversold territory, followed by the stunning countertrend surge.
After dropping to $0.44, the XRP price is currently trading at $0.48. The bears broke both the 21-day simple moving average (SMA) and the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) during the downturn, and a retracement into the 21-day SMA occurred hours later.

Still, the uptrend rally may be a short squeeze and entering the market post-rally could be very problematic. If the $0.56 level is left unchallenged, traders should expect a decline toward $0.40.
Thus, this thesis remains bearish until the $0.56 swing high is breached. If the bulls manage to hurdle the swing high, a rally toward the $0.61 liquidity levels will be back in the cards, representing a 32% rise from the current XRP price.
