XRP price entered into an uptrend during the middle of May, rising from the support level of $0.42 in order to retest the annual high of $0.5850. The annual high was formed in the month of March after which price entered into a corrective phase. The uptrend was halted at the resistance level of $0.54. The cryptocurrency price consolidated between the range of $0.5050 and $0.54 during the start of June.
On June 13, the candle managed to break above the resistance level but due to active participation of bears at the $0.5658 level, the price was pushed back below $0.54. The rejection ignited bearish momentum and the price finally did break out below the $0.5050 level on June 14. It is evident that bears do not want prices to rise above $0.50. The price melted down to form support at $0.4750 and tried to rise above $0.50 but did not succeed.
Currently, the price is hovering near the support level of $0.4750. If bears can push price below the recent support, there is a possibility that price might head toward $0.45. As Bitcoin and Ethereum are facing resistance, the altcoins are also turning slightly bearish.
If the cryptocurrency’s price stabilizes above the support and gains enough bullish momentum to shatter the resistance level of $0.5050, there is high probability for the price to head toward $0.54 and recover losses occurred in June.
Overall outlook of XRP shows that it is stuck in a wide range consolidation zone ranging between $0.42 and $0.54. If a break of $0.45 happens, the next price resides at the $0.42 level.
