Ripple’s XRP token is currently trading at $0.241 after bouncing by 5.92% off the $0.227 level of support this morning.
As noted in last week’s XRP analysis, the world’s fourth largest cryptocurrency by market cap remains confined in a relatively tight trading range, with $0.26 providing a stubborn level of resistance.
XRP has now been trading within the range since early September following a breakdown in price from a local high of $0.33.
It’s also worth pointing out that the daily 200 exponential moving average (EMA) appears to be another level of support despite being resistance since the bear market reversal at the start of 2018.
Moving forwards, volatility is expected this week in light of the US presidential election and Bitcoin’s impending push above $14,000.
While altcoins like XRP will initially sell-off in the event of a Bitcoin breakout, they will most likely rally into a new bullish phase when Bitcoin begins to consolidate at a higher price.
In terms of XRP, its price action will not only depend on retail participation but also investment from institutional clients, many of whom typically buy XRP tokens over-the-counter from the Ripple Foundation.
Although token sales have been lamented by XRP supporters, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse revealed that token sales are “vital” to the company’s survival.
