Ripple Finds Support Above $0.34 And Continues To Move Within The Trading Range

Ripple (XRP) has maintained its price pattern below the moving average lines as buyers continue to defend the current support.

Long-term forecast for Ripple price: bearish

Sellers drove XRP to a low of $0.29 on January 2, but bulls bought the dips. At $0.31, selling pressure broke the lower price, which then retraced to find support at $0.34. After the recent decline, the cryptocurrency resumed its movement within the trading range. Doji candlesticks, which have a small body and are indecisive, have now taken control of the price movement. These candlesticks show that both buyers and sellers are still uncertain about the price of the market. Therefore, the current price movement will continue below the moving average lines. On January 2, the long candlestick indicated significant buying at lower price levels.
