Ripple (XRP) price continues to gradually recover from the drop to the $2.00 mark, which has been breached several times. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP should as well have experienced some movement in the past several days due to changes on the market. However, some barriers have prevented it from reaching these levels, which is currently experiencing as its main difficulties. Today, the cryptocurrency price remains in the context of the bullish expectation and bearish pressure.
Key Developments
The price of XRP also changed direction after crossing key levels of $2.20 and $2.45. The price went above $2.60 but could not sustain the move through a long-term higher high. This was resisted at the $2.75 level, which provided the market’s ceiling for the day. XRP reached its high of $2.780 and the beginning of the pullback. It is recovering at the moment, all the same the price has dropped below $2.60 and the 100-hourly SMA.
This correction indicates that XRP might experience more dropping in value if the bulls don’t regain the important levels. The fate of the bulls will be decided in the coming days, weeks or months as to whether they are going to seize control of the market again or whether bears are going to continue their reign over the market.
Overview
XRP has also been quite spirited in its recovery but still found hemmed in a trading range. The cryptocurrency touched new first, with its value rising to $2.780 before pulling back. It is now at an important support at $2.60 level. In this regard, if XRP goes past this resistance level, the price is likely to move towards $2.940 or the $3.00 mark. On the other hand, failure to trade above these levels opens the door for deeper correctional moves with support levels posted below.
The medium-term trend in the XRP price will depend on its position relative to the $2.60 level in the near future. Otherwise, the price testing lowers support levels, indicating the probability of the price hitting $2.260 and $2.150. So, the levels in question remain crucial for cryptocurrency buyers to judge further trends.
Resistance Levels and Price Action
XRP has come under pressure on the $2.60-$2.75 register level. The first resistance point is at $2.60, in which a bearish trend line has been drawn. In case XRP goes up, then it shall hit $2.70 as the first limit, going up to $2.780. A break over the $2.780 level may take the price to the $2.940 area and then $3.000.
Nevertheless, the current scenario displays that the bulls have not gained full control over XRP. If these levels of resistance are not penetrated, the price can be expected to reverse and fall to $2.260 and $2.150. These support levels will define whether cryptocurrency is set for further uplift or is headed for the bear territory.
XRP Support Zones and Potential Decline
Holders of XRP should focus on the next move after such support levels as they determine the continuing price actions. If the price fails to hold above $2,60, then it will go for a support level of $ 2,260. The initial level of interest can be identified at $2.150, which could potentially serve as a demand area. However, a bearish breakout of $2.150 will mean that the price will head lower and form a range at $2.00.
Analyst Insights: Dark Defender’s Outlook
Popular analyst Dark Defender has come up with his take regarding the current structure of Ripple markets. He explained that ‘XRP is currently in a consolidation phase below the $3.00 level.” Dark Defender also stays bullish on the coin, expecting it to go above $3.00 and toward $5.85 in the following months.
He emphasizes Wave 3 as a vital stage of the bullish cycle, adding targets past $8.00. However, Dark Defender believes that XRP’s trajectory has not changed even though there is currently a correction. However, the price has to break the upward moving average for it to continue upward, as shown below.
XRP Market Sentiment
The outlook among holders, traders, and investors of XRP has, therefore created two opposing camps, that of bull and bear. Further, if there is a positive sentiment, it can target the breakout points above the resistance levels, hence increasing the price. However, there is bearish potential if the $2.60 support bars stay below the price, too. The support of $2.60 is beneath the price.
Conclusion
The volatility has remained high, but the investors are cautious when trading the XRP. Further, price volatility is normal as the cryptocurrency tries to break higher ground against the resistance and support levels. The next couple of days will reveal whether it will be able to get out of an intrarange pedestal or is prone to come across price fluctuations.
Currently, the cryptocurrency is facing quite an interesting battle between the bulls and bears. These have capped its price, and it seems like the price has regained some strength, but the $2.60 resistance is quite a challenge. The Relative Strength Index in the same period has also displayed a bullish trend with a bullish divergence note, thus if Ripple token is to rise past this level, it might further extend to $2.940 or $3.00 level. Otherwise, a decline towards the lower supports may ensue which are $2.260 and $2.150 may be expected.
