Today, Ripple hit a $0.26 high as the price dropped to a $0.254 low. The price has retested the overhead resistance on more than four occasions.
These fluctuations have been ongoing since October 5. Buyers have been unrelenting as they made several attempts to break the $0.26 overhead resistance. For the past week, Ripple has been range-bound between $0.245 and $0.26.
Each time, buyers fail to break above the overhead resistance; XRP will fall to either $0.245 or $0.25. This has been the market scenario in the last few days. Certainly, XRP will either face a breakout or breakdown in a couple of days to come. For example, a breakout above the overhead resistance will push XRP to rise to $0.30 high. Conversely, a breakdown will further make the coin to decline to $0.228 or $0.22 low. The coin is trading at $0.259 at the time of writing.
