Ripple Hovers above $0.28 Support, Engages Next Resistance at $0.30

On August 7, XRP declined to $0.28 low, but buyers responded and pushed the price back to $0.30 high. The price could not break the $0.30 resistance after three attempts. The selling pressure is overwhelming as buyers settled above the 0.28 support. Ripple is now consolidating above the $0.28 support.  

Buyers have two hurdles to jump over before retesting the $0.34 overhead resistance. There are indications of price possible upward movement as XRP hovers above the EMAs. Ripple will rise if buyers push the price above $0.29 support. A strong bounce above the support will propel the price to break the resistance at $0.30 and $0.32. This will accelerate the price to retest the $0.34 overhead resistance. Ripple will be trading between $0.28 and $0.30 if buyers fail to break the resistance levels.
