Ripple’s XRP token is teetering on the brink of a further corrective move to the downside as it edges along the $0.284 level of support.
The world’s third largest cryptocurrency by market cap remains up by 47% over the past 30 days, but it may well struggled to maintain momentum following a daily double top at at $0.327.
A double top is typically a signal of a reversal, however this theory will be negated if XRP begins to trade back above the psychological level of $0.30, which has been a historical level of resistance.
If XRP suffers a break down in price this weekend it will most likely test $0.2349 before bouncing at $0.2276 as it was a point of rejection in late April.
Much of the weekend price action will depend on if Bitcoin can begin to trade back above $12,000 or if it will continue to consolidate around $11,600.
