Ripple Surges above $0.26 Overhead Resistance as Underlying Strength Grows

Ripple (XRP) price analysis, October 22, 2020. For the past two days Ripple has been making a steady upward move. Today, October 22, buyers have retested the $0.26 overhead resistance but failed to break the resistance.

Ripple (XRP) Price Long-Term Forecast: Bullish

This has been the major market situation as XRP will be compelled to a range-bound movement between $0.24 and $0.26. Another implication is that sellers will sink the XRP by pushing it below the 21-day and 50-day SMAs if buyers fail to break above the overhead resistance. 

 For example, on October 13, the bulls were resisted at the overhead resistance and the coin slumped to $0.237 low. Today, XRP is trading above $0.25880 high at the time of writing. On the upside, a strong bounce above the current support will propel price to break the $0.26 overhead resistance. In the meantime, XRP price is sustained above the $0.25 high but below the overhead resistance.
