Ripple’s XRP token is in a perilous position this week as it continues to trade back below the $0.30 level of resistance.
It has now been in a sideways consolidation pattern for more than a week following two consecutive rejections from the four-hour 200 exponential moving average.
Its lack of momentum, especially when altcoins flourished over the weekend, is as a result of the SEC lawsuit that caused it to be delisted from a number of exchanges including Coinbase.
While the Ripple Foundation remain confident that they can “work together” with the new SEC board, exchanges simply aren’t willing to take the risks on a token that could potentially be classed as a security.
From a technical perspective, $0.316 remains the key level of resistance over the next week while $0.267 and $0.215 continue to offer levels of support in case of a downside drive.
In order for XRP to trigger a bullish reversal, it needs to begin closing daily candles above $0.38 as this would print a long-awaited higher low, although it’s worth noting that $0.44 should provide a stubborn point of resistance.
Momentum oscillators also seem to be ticking to the downside with the daily stochs experiencing a bearish cross while the relative strength index stagnates below 45.
