Ripple Fluctuates above $0.56 as Bears Threaten to Resume Selling Pressure

The price of Ripple (XRP) resumed its downward correction after the January 22 plunge. Over the past four days, the XRP price has fluctuated between $0.56 and $0.62, with buyers unsuccessfully attempting to break above resistance at $0.62 three times.

Today, the XRP price is falling after a failed upward movement on January 24. The rejection of the recent high suggests that the bears intend to lower Ripple despite the oversold condition of the cryptocurrency. On the upside, if the price recovers in the oversold zone, the market will rise and retest the resistance at $0.62 and $0.80. On the other hand, if the bears break the support at $0.56, XRP/USD will decline, but will rise again at $0.44.
