Ripple’s price has been consolidating for almost a month now. Yet, the market’s future direction could be determined soon.

The USDT Paired Chart
Against USDT, the cryptocurrency is still showing no signs of recovery. Since the market dropped below the 200-day moving average, located around the $0.6 level, the price action has been extremely choppy.
Currently, the $0.5 support level is being tested once again. If the level breaks down, a decline toward the $0.4 zone would be imminent. With the RSI showing values below 50%, the momentum is bearish, and there is a considerable probability for this scenario.
The BTC Paired Chart
The XRP/BTC chart paints a completely different picture. Ripple has been consistently dropping against BTC for the last 6 months. The 800 SAT level has recently held the price, preventing it from a further decline.
Meanwhile, after almost a month of consolidation around the level, it seems that the 800 SAT zone is on the verge of a breakdown. This would be a catastrophic scenario, as the price could experience a flash crash.
