$XRP's recent move toward the $2.2 resistance looked like it might break through, finally. What traders got instead, though, was another firm rejection — the fourth in four weeks.
It's no secret that $XRP is one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in the market, and all that should be known about its price is currently happening on the weekly chart.
Recently, $XRP touched $2.2 again before dropping back, following a familiar pattern the market has seen a few times now, with each try having been met with selling pressure, keeping the altcoin's price trapped in a tightening range.
This week in particular the setup seemed good, but when there's a sudden spike in resistance without follow-through, it usually makes people more cautious than hopeful. And rightly so, it seems.
At this point, there are two scenarios that stand out. If $XRP breaks out over $2.2 — and stays strong at the close this week — it could go as high as $2.4, where the next real challenge awaits.
Another rejection, however, might drag $XRP back toward the $1.9-$1.95 support zone, where prices have fallen in recent weeks. It's a well-known spot, but each retest pushes the support a bit further, making the range harder to predict over time.
It's clear that momentum is at a crossroads. The four-time failure at $2.2 shows that sellers are still pushing it, but the steady base above $1.9 shows that buyers aren't ready to give up either. The tug-of-war continues — and the next big move could set the tone for $XRP's summer.
