XRP must break above key resistance levels to trigger a bullish shift, while failing to do so could lead to a retest of critical support.
XRP is currently trading at $1.95, down about 0.3% in the last 24 hours. The price action has been relatively negative within this period, with a daily range between $1.94 and $2.02. The 24-hour trading volume remains significant at $2.84 billion; however, the volume has dropped 19.03%.
Over higher time frames, XRP’s recent performance has been a mix of volatility and a general decline, with a 5.5% drop over the last 7 days and 17.9% loss in the past 14 days. However, XRP has shown some resilience over the last 30 days, up by 1.6%, indicating that the asset faces near-term downward pressure.
Where’s XRP Headed?
On the technical end, the Bollinger Bands indicator shows the price is approaching the lower band, currently set at $1.8687. This could signal a potential reversal or at least a temporary support area, but the price is still clearly under pressure as it remains below the middle band around $2.0830.
Elsewhere, the Average Directional Index at 23.29 indicates that the market’s trend strength is moderate but moving to the downside. While this suggests some trend activity, the relatively low reading points to a lack of strong directional momentum.
Traders may need to wait for the price to either break above the middle band or retest support near the lower band to determine the next move. If XRP can break above the $2.08 level and hold above it, there may be potential for a bullish shift. Otherwise, failure to recover could bring further downside risk.
XRP Approaches a Bullish Cross
Per a recent chart by ChartNerd, XRP is showing potential for a bullish breakout in the coming weeks. The price is nearing a key level where it could break its descending resistance, forming a bullish cross on the weekly MACD.
If this occurs, it could signal the start of a strong upward movement, similar to the previous bullish cross that drove XRP to new all-time highs. As XRP approaches this critical juncture, market watchers are closely monitoring these indicators, with the expectation that a clean break above current resistance levels could lead to a surge in price.
