ADX measures trend strength on a 0\u2013100 scale, direction agnostic. Think of a car running in neutral: The engine&#8217;s on but going nowhere. Below 20 is the range traders associate with choppy, directionless markets where false breakouts are common. There is one mildly hopeful read: The directional indicator is shifting from DI- (bearish dominance) toward DI+ (bullish dominance). At ADX 13.3, though, &#8220;shifting&#8221; is doing a lot of heavy lifting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">The Exponential Moving Averages\u2014or EMAs, which give traders a view of price trends over time\u2014tell the clearest story.

As Decrypt reported on Tuesday, Bitcoin is fighting its own death cross right now. For XRP, there&#8217;s no sign yet of the two averages beginning to converge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro scene:font-noto-sans scene:text-base scene:md:text-lg font-normal text-lg md:text-xl md:leading-9 tracking-px text-body gg-dark:text-neutral-100\">The RSI\u2014Relative Strength Index, a 0\u2013100 momentum gauge where above 70 is overbought and below 30 is oversold\u2014sits at 48.5. Right in the middle, no pressure in either direction. The Squeeze Momentum indicator is \u201coff\u201d with a momentum reading of 0.81v: slightly positive but weak\u2014enough to say energy is building, not enough to say where it&#8217;s going. Looking at the charts, it seems XRP may soon flash signals of price compression.
