RSI Indicator: Buy or Sell?
RSI Divergence Analysis
RSI(14) currently at 37.88 level and positioned in neutral zone (30-70), but approaching oversold boundary (below 30) with recent decline. Regular bearish divergence observed on daily chart: price making new lows while RSI forming higher lows, signaling weakening selling momentum. On weekly timeframe, hidden bullish divergence signal starting to form; RSI holding its base while price declines, warning of potential momentum reversal. However, no divergence on 3-day chart, downward trend dominant. These mixed signals show RSI weakening sell signal and turning into buy opportunity, especially if 30 level breaks, oversold bounce expected.
Overbought/Oversold Regions
RSI at 37.88 one step away from oversold region (below 30), this level historically marked the end of 15-20% pullbacks in XPL. In previous oversold exits (e.g., January 2026), RSI jump from 28 to 55 brought 25% rally. Current position carries short-term buy signal potential but volume confirmation required. Overbought (above 70) distant, risky without resistance breaks.
MACD Signals and Histogram Dynamics
MACD status reported as bullish, histogram positive and expanding; this shows momentum slowing the downward trend. Signal line crossover not yet occurred but MACD line holding above zero line, histogram bars growing in last 3 days (from 0.0012 to 0.0021). This dynamic indicates hidden bullish momentum accumulation within bearish trend. On daily chart, MACD histogram peaked then contracted and now expanding again, closing above 0.085 USD critical for crossover. Weekly MACD has bearish crossover but histogram contraction (narrowing) shows weakness. Overall, MACD providing short-term recovery signal in confluence with RSI, but zero line above sustainability required for trend change.
EMA Systems and Trend Strength
Short-Term EMAs
Price trading below EMA20 (0.10 USD), confirming short-term bearish trend. Narrowing between EMA10 and EMA20 ribbon shows momentum loss; if price cannot break EMA10 (0.092 USD), selling pressure increases. In last 24 hours, test toward EMA50 (0.095 USD), downward break targets 0.0736 support.
Medium/Long-Term EMA Supports
EMA50 (0.095 USD) and EMA200 (0.112 USD) resisting as medium-term supports, ribbon structure downward sloping and expanding, showing strong downtrend. If price falls below EMA200, long-term bearish ribbon begins. In trend strength measurement, EMA ribbon dynamics confirm weak momentum, recovery requires close above EMA20 and ribbon narrowing.
Bitcoin Correlation
BTC at 65,785 USD with 3.32% drop in downtrend, Supertrend bearish. XPL shows high correlation with BTC (0.85%); if BTC supports at 64,183-62,591 USD break, sharp drop below 0.0736 expected in XPL. If BTC resistances above 65,920 USD broken, altcoin rally triggered, opening 0.0905-0.0965 levels for XPL. BTC dominance increase pressuring altcoins, XPL momentum will remain tied to BTC trend; if BTC falls below 60,000, XPL bearish target 0.0138 (22 score) comes into play.
Momentum Result and Expectations
In momentum confluence, RSI oversold approach and MACD positive histogram giving bullish signal but EMA bearish structure and volume deficiency protecting downtrend. Short-term: if 0.0736 support holds, test of 0.0905-0.0965 resistance, breakout to 0.1421 bullish target (25 score). Bearish scenario: support break leads to 0.0138.
