XRP Price: A Never-Ending Struggle Against Resistance – Who Will Win?

by

Once more, XRP price dares to rise above the $1.3120 and $1.320 levels, but fate has other plans. It now lingers in the shadows, contemplating a fresh challenge at $1.360.

  • XRP price dared to break free above the $1.320 zone.
  • Currently, it hovers above $1.3350, clinging to the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average like a lifeline.
  • A contracting triangle emerges, as if whispering that resistance at $1.3470 is the final frontier on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (courtesy of Kraken).
  • Should it gather enough courage, a move above $1.380 could finally make it worth our while.

XRP’s Hopeful Ascent

XRP price clings to its support above $1.290, reluctantly starting a recovery wave, following in the footsteps of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Climbing above $1.3120 and $1.320, it briefly glimpses the promise of a brighter future.

The bulls, like soldiers in a losing battle, manage to push past the 23.6% Fib retracement of the descent from $1.4650 to $1.2836. And yet, even at $1.340, they falter, with resistance setting in at $1.3780. Now, it lingers above $1.3350, clinging to the 100-hourly SMA like a dream too distant to grasp.

If there’s hope for an upward surge, expect resistance to rear its ugly head at the $1.3480 level. The contracting triangle mocks its every move, taunting with resistance at $1.3470 on the hourly chart.

The first major obstacle lies at $1.380, marking the 50% Fib retracement of the fall from $1.4650 to $1.2836. A close above $1.380 might send the price to $1.40, but who are we kidding? The real test is the $1.4120 resistance, beyond which the price might venture to $1.4250. As always, hope hangs by a thread-if this rally even survives that long.

The Inevitable Drop?

If XRP fails to conquer the mighty $1.380 resistance, prepare for the inevitable slide. Support looms near the $1.3150 level, but that will be just a brief respite before the real plunge to $1.30.

A break below $1.30 could see the price plummeting to $1.2880. The next support? $1.2680. Beyond that, the abyss beckons at $1.2320.
