The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) histogram is growing red, with its averages indicating bearish convergence on a daily basis. This demonstrates an increase in selling pressure for altcoins.

On the other hand, the Simple Moving Average (SMA) on the XRP price chart shows a negative curve, indicating a bearish prognosis for the altcoin in the near future.

If buyers (bulls) take control again, XRP’s price may reach its resistance level of $2.50, with a further potential to touch $3. Staying above that level might push this altcoin to a new 52-week high this month.

On the other hand, if the bears get traction, Ripple might fall to its support level of $2.25. If the bulls further fail to regain momentum, it might fall below $2.
