Being bullish on XRP price before this level is an easy way to lose money
|- XRP price has retraced 12% after failing to move past the $0.381 hurdle.
- Ripple is likely to dive lower before arriving at a stable support area, extending from $0.301 to $0.310.
- A daily candlestick close below $0.301 will trigger a 22% crash to $0.239.
XRP price shows little strength as it continues to tumble after rejection at a significant resistance barrier. The ongoing downtrend is likely to continue as investors continue to book profits and drive the altcoin lower.
XRP price could see a limited bounce
XRP price saw massive gains in the third week of July as it retested the $0.381 resistance barrier for the second time. However, this move failed to push past the said level, leading to a reversal and a 12% retracement consequently.
Judging from the sentiment in the market, the retracement will continue until a stable support level is discovered. Investors can expect XRP price to stabilize around the liquidity pool, extending from $0.301 to $0.310.
Assuming the sellers take a break, investors can expect a small bounce. The originating uptrend here is unlikely to make it far. Therefore, market participants should exercise caution with regard to trading XRP price.
If Bitcoin price crashes below $19,000 again, this might get extremely bearish. Such a market development could push the XRP price down by 22% to $0.239.
