Ripple Unable to Clear the Hurdle at $0.248 High, Resumes Sideways Move

Ripple has been on a sideways move above $0.24 support after recovering from the earlier downtrend. The sideways move becomes necessary because buyers fail to break into the previous highs.

Sellers are providing stiff resistance at the $0.248 high since September 26. XRP has been compelled to fluctuate between $0.24 and $0.248. On the upside, the major impediment to price rise is the resistance at $0.248. 

If buyers clear the current resistance, XRP will rise above $0.26 high. At the $0.26 support, Ripple will have an accelerated price movement. The bullish momentum is likely to reach a high of $0.30. However, the upward move will not be an easy walk for the buyers. Except in a few cases, the coin will face minor resistance on the upside. Ripple will fall if the bears break the $0.24 support. The market will drop sharply to $0.23 and subsequently, reach the $0.21 low.
