  • The bearish action has made Ripple’s XRP drop by 2.17% over the past 24-hours of trading
  • Ripple (XRP) broke the long-term support after a heavy bear surge to $0.22

Unexpectedly, Ripple’s XRP finally broke the long-term demand zone of $0.29 – $0.028 that has been producing support for the market since 2018. The cryptocurrency is now trading around the $0.26 after the sharp fall to $0.022, revisiting the December 2017 low yesterday.

The bearish turn up has continued to position the market in a more significant downward range. However, Ripple (XRP) will continue to decline if the buyers fail to regroup strong. As of now, the bulls are trying to regroup back at $0.30. Currently, the market records 2.17% loss over the past few hours.

Yesterday, Ripple’s XRP surged below the $0.28 – $0.29 support-turned-resistance to $0.0245, followed by a quick pullback to the current price level at $0.26. Now, Ripple (XRP) is looking for a retest around the recent break level of $0.28 – $0.29 resistances before resuming the bear rally.

A strong buying pressure may further bring the price to $0.30 resistance. While trading at $0.26, a bearish continuation is likely at the $0.24 and $0.22 supports. A breach could slump the market to $0.020 supports, creating a new low below the falling channel. At the moment, XRP/USD pair is under bearish control.

Conclusively:

Now that the price action has successfully surpassed the long-term support, we can expect the market to continue falling until the XRP/USD pair locates new solid support. We can then expect a bullish move to the key resistance levels. For now, the bears are still gaining control.
