Ripple Slumps to $0.241 Low, Unable to Breach $0.26 Overhead Resistance

Ripple has resumed a downward move as bulls fail to break the $0.26 resistance. The coin was compelled to a sideways move between $0.248 and $0.26 while buyers made several attempts to breach the overhead resistance level.

Yesterday, buyers pushed the coin to a high of $0.258. Thereafter, a Doji candlestick in which it's opening and closing prices are the same initiated the downward movement of the coin. On the downside, if the price breaks below the SMAs, the coin will be range-bound in the downtrend zone for a few days. However, if the coin rebounds at the $0.24 low, the bulls will be back to retest the overhead resistance. Today, XRP has fallen to level $0.246 at the time of writing. The coin is facing rejection at the $0.246 support as buyers push the price upward.
