Previous XRP Price Movement
On June 6, the XRP price reached a high above 5400 satoshis.It has been decreasing since, following the descending resistance line outlined below.
On July 16, the XRP price broke out above this line.
However, the breakout occurred with minimal volume — reducing its validity.
In these cases, it is customary for the price to initially drop towards the resistance line before resuming its upward movement.
This view is also supported by the fact that after the breakdown, the XRP price failed to increase above the previous support area which has now turned to resistance.
Therefore, we would expect the price to decrease in the short-term before resuming its uptrend.
Let’s take a look at some technical indicators to see if they confirm our hypothesis.
Technical Indicators
The fact that it is present in both indicators further increases its significance.
Additionally, it is also present in the daily time-frame — albeit it is much less significant.
A look at daily moving averages (MA) shows that the XRP price has taken its first steps in confirming the uptrend.
The next day, the rally was stopped once the price reached the 20-day one.
At the time of writing, it still has not moved above it.
However, the 10-day MA has started to turn upward, possibly setting itself up for a bullish cross.
Even though the breakout transpired with minimal volume, a look at momentum indicators and MAs make us believe that the breakout was legitimate.
Therefore, we would expect the price to eventually confirm the uptrend and continue increasing.
If it does, where will it find resistance?
Potential XRP Price Movement
If the XRP price continues to increase, two resistance areas are outlined below:
The first one is found at 3300 satoshis, where the XRP price is currently trading.
The second one is found near 4000 satoshis. We believe that it is likely that the price will eventually reach this area.
Also, since it is possibly creating an ascending support line, a rough outline of its possible future movements is shown above.
Summary
The XRP price recently broke out from a descending resistance line.
According to our analysis, it is likely that it will reach the resistance area outlined above.
