Ripple Encounters Rejection And Returns To The Range Below $0.55

The latest price analysis by Coinidol.com report, Ripple (XRP) returns after reaching the overbought level at $0.58.

XRP price long-term forecast: bullish

The long wick of the candle indicates significant selling pressure in the overbought zone of the market. Nevertheless, further XRP gains are speculative. As a result, the cryptocurrency value is bearish. At the time of writing, XRP/USD is trading at $0.55087. If the bears drop below the $0.55 support, the altcoin could fall back to the previous range zone.

The current support level will become a resistance level if the bears break it. Since August 17, the cryptocurrency has been trading in a narrow range between $0.45 and $0.55. The altcoin could fall even further if it loses its current support level. The positive trend will continue if the current support level holds.
