Ripple Resumes Downward Correction after a False Breakout at $1.12

Today, Ripple (XRP) saw a sudden price spike to a high of $1.25. Today's price action resembles a vertical rally that is not supported by any fundamentals. XRP price broke through the 21-day line SMA and attempted to reach the overriding resistance at $1.40.

The bullish momentum missed its target area and the price retreated into the range zone. Today's candlestick has a long wick. This indicates strong selling pressure at higher levels. XRP's upside is doubtful as bears continue to defend resistance zones. XRP/USD is likely to remain below the $1.12 resistance for a few more days. The cryptocurrency is in a downward correction after the recent breakdown.
