Ripple Declines Marginally as It Faces Rejection at $0.39

The price of Ripple (XRP) is trading in the uptrend zone as the altcoin drops below the 21-day line SMA. On August 14, buyers pushed XRP to the high of $0.39, but were rejected.

The wick of the candle indicates strong selling pressure at the $0.39 price level. XRP is trading between the moving average lines as it drops below the 21-day line SMA. The movement is insignificant due to the dominance of the doji candlesticks. If the price drops below the 50-day line SMA, XRP will return to the previous low of $0.30. However, if the 50-day line holds, the cryptocurrency will continue its movement between $0.36 and $0.39. Meanwhile, XRP/USD is trading at $0.37 at the time of writing.

What is the next move for Ripple?

On the 4-hour chart, XRP/USD has declined and started a trading range between $0.36 and $0.39. The altcoin will develop when the range bound levels are broken. Meanwhile, when XRP recovers and resumes the uptrend, the indecisive candles with a small body will disappear. Nonetheless, the presence of an indecisive small-bodied candlestick will extend the range bound movement.
