On August 3rd, the XRP price gave a high momentum breakdown from the support trendline, which held buyers during the second half of July. From the breakdown point($0.679), the altcoin tumbled nearly 10% to reach the current price of $0.614.
Amid this downfall, the sellers also breached the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. In technical analysis, a breakdown below the 50% level starts, indicating weakness in the prevailing trend. Therefore, traders must remain cautious of the current downfall as a drop of such length indicates weakness in bullish momentum.
With sustained selling, the XRP price could drop another 8% to reach the next significant support of $0.56 aligned with 78.6% FIB. Losing this support would offset the recovery witnessed on July 13th.
Will XRP Price Rise Back to $0.66?
The daily chart projecting a long-tail rejection indicates that buyers are entering the market at a discounted price. This buildup of bullish momentum may trigger a pullback in a downward trend. If the anticipated uptick showed sustainability below the breached trendline or $0.66, the sellers are likely to extend the correction trend.
