XRP held on to the $0.76 support level, although it did see a candle wick on the daily as far south as $0.705. This dip was bought. But, the question was- How many more dips can buyers absorb? The trend for XRP has been bearish on higher timeframes. A move past $0.9 would be needed to break the structure, but sellers were strong all the way up to $1.05. It appeared that XRP would need to beat multiple strong resistances before investors can expect a bullish run.

Still waiting for $1

On the daily chart, a descending channel (yellow) was seen. In particular, the lower half of the channel has been respected well by the price. The channel lows coincided with support at $0.76 and some demand at $0.706 (dotted green line).

The strong gains in August came after the $0.76 area was flipped from supply to demand. At the time of writing, this area had not been flipped back to demand. But, it could only be a matter of time.

Repeated tests of a support level drain the buyers of capital and increase the likelihood that buyers would get exhausted and sellers can smash the price straight through the floor.

To the upside, there lay heavy resistance at $0.88 (Fibonacci retracement level and higher time frame resistance) and the $0.92-$0.94 area (a node of some strength on the Visible range Volume profile, combined with the channel’s midpoint). The $1 area (red box) was also an area where XRP had been rejected in the past couple of months.

China might have labeled Bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining “obsolete” in the country. But its exit from the sector has proven to be a boon for countries like the USA, Russia, and Kazakhstan where most miners have shifted base. Smaller players have also emerged to fill in the gaps, and among them is Thailand. Here, large-cap companies are investing millions into crypto mining operations in a bid to capitalize from the booming industries.
