On the hourly chart, the RSI indicator does not show the oversold of the crypto, even though the asset is located in the ascending channel for quite a long time. It looks that April had no effect at all on XRP’s rate, and bounced back to the positions of March. A possible short-term scenario is a drop to $0.2960, due to the lack of buyers and flowing funds into BTC and other more volatile coins.

The price of XRP is trading at $0.2983 at the time of writing.
