Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Tumbles At $0.30 Resistance, What’s Next?

XRP saw a small decline of around 3% over the past 24 hours and it currently trades at $0.2705. The cryptocurrency has started to pull back slightly after surging by 9% over the past week of trading. During the first week of October, XRP has been performing very well as it attempts to make its way back to the $0.30 level.

XRP is the second-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $11.68 billion.

Looking at the XRP/USD 1-Day Chart:

Since our previous XRP/USD analysis, XRP continued meeting resistance at the $0.2811 level. The coin spiked higher into the $0.30 level in yesterday’s trading session, however, XRP was still unable to close above the $0.2811 resistance. The 3% decrease today has caused XRP to roll over toward $0.27.
From above: The nearest level of resistance lies at $0.2811. Above this, resistance lies at $0.2890 (100-days EMA) and $0.30. If the bulls can penetrate above $0.30, higher resistance is expected at $0.308, $0.3177 (200-days EMA), $0.3262, and $0.3371.
From below: The nearest level of support lies at $0.27. Beneath this, support is found at $0.26, $0.2584, $0.25, and the September low-day closing price of $0.2345. Further support is expected at $0.22, $0.2153, $0.21230, and $0.21.
The trading volume has seen an increase during October.
The RSI is above the 50 level but is pointing downward which could suggest a small retracement. However, if the RSI can remain above 50, we can expect XRP to continue to climb toward $0.30. The Stochastic RSI is primed for a bearish crossover in overbought conditions which is another signal for a potential short term retracement.
