Ripple (XRP) Turns Down, Lacks Buying at Higher Levels Near $0.28

On the 4-hour chart, Ripple (XRP) has turned down from the overhead resistance at $0.2879. The bulls made two unsuccessful attempts at the overhead resistance without a breakthrough. On each occasion, the price falls to $0.26 low or below the 12-day EMA and the 26-day EMA. XRP appears to lack buying power at higher levels.

More so, the bulls could not sustain an upward move. Nonetheless, if the current support holds, a retest at the overhead resistance is possible. A successful breakout at $0.2879 will make the price to rally above $0.31. On the downside, the selling pressure will resume if the current support fails to hold. The initial fall will reach a low of $0.25. However, the selling pressure will continue to a low of $0.23, if the bullish trend line is broken.

XRP targets the resistance at $0.31

On the daily chart, the resistance at $0.24 has been a stumbling block for the bulls. In its upward move, the bulls were first resisted at $0.24 on January 19, and the coin fell to the low of $0.22. Impressively, XRP rebounded at the low of $0.22 and broke the resistance at $0.24. The bulls pick up momentum as the price reaches a high of $0.2879, which was a resistance level.

The upward move was hindered as the bulls were resisted at the recent high. At the moment, Ripple is on a downward movement; if the coin finds support, the upward move is likely to continue. On the upside, if the price breaks the current resistance, the market will rally above $0.31. The bulls have been testing the resistance at $0.31 and have not been able to break it since July 2019.
