CoinMarketCap showed that XRP experienced a 0.97% decline in price during this time. However, the altcoin later stepped into the green zone. This led to XRP being traded at $0.5148 as of press time. This caused XRP to be positioned between its highest point of $0.5162 and its lowest point of $0.5056 in the last 24 hours.
Altcoin price prediction: Highers possible!
Meanwhile, XRP witnessed a decline in 24-hour trading volume. It achieved a trading volume of $838,101,913, a decline of 14% over the past day. Additionally, XRP has weakened by approximately 0.77% compared to market leader Bitcoin (BTC). In the previous week, the altcoin managed to record a modest price increase of just over 2%. However, in the past month the token has experienced a decline of 2.56%.
Daily chart for XRP. Source: TradingViewMeanwhile, from a technical perspective, the price of XRP has gradually increased over the past few days. This caused a positive trend line to form on the daily chart. If this positive momentum continues, it is possible that the altcoin price could soon climb above the next resistance level at $0.5605. Additionally, a daily candle close above $0.5605 can be identified as a buying opportunity. If investors buy XRP at this point, there is a possibility that the price will rise to $0.7385 in the next two weeks.
On the other hand, a break below the positive trend line would reverse the situation. In this case, XRP is likely to drop to the immediate support level at $0.4425. After that, if the selling volume continues, it is possible for the altcoin price to drop as low as $0.3480. Traders and investors will want to note that XRP price is holding above the positive trend line as well as the 9-day and 20-day EMA lines at press time. As a result, a daily candle close below these levels today confirms the bearish thesis. In contrast, if it closes today’s trading session above the 20-day EMA line, traders interpret it as a positive sign. In this scenario, XRP price is likely to start its rise towards $0.7385.
