The XRP uptrend will resume if buyers are successful

The price of Ripple (XRP) is recovering from the previous downtrend, but faces a first hurdle at $1.24. In the last 24 hours, the bulls have retested the recent high twice, but the selling pressure is overwhelming.

The XRP uptrend will resume if buyers are successful. That means Ripple will retest the previous high at $1.35 and break into the uptrend zone. However, the bears seem to be prevailing as the market is still in the overbought zone. However, a rejection of the high at $1.24 would mean further downside for the cryptocurrency. Ripple will fall to regain the previous low at $1.07. If the downturn continues, the bears will pay their third visit. The market will continue to disintegrate if the bears break the support at $1.07. That means XRP/USD will continue to fall to a low of either $0.80 or $0.90.
