Ripple Stuck Below $0.248 Resistance, Unable to Push to Upside

The range-bound movement becomes necessary because buyers have failed to push the price above the $0.248 resistance. As a result, XRP has been on a sideways move for the past week. Each time, XRP retests the resistance zone, the price will fall to $0.238 support and resume upward immediately. 

Today, XRP is trading at $0.244 but fluctuates between $0.238 and $0.248 price levels. The upside momentum will resume if buyers break the $0.248 resistance. Once resistance is broken, the market will reach a high of $0.26. At this support, the market will have an accelerated price movement to $0.30 high. However, if the bears eventually break below $0.238 support the downtrend will resume.
