XRP, Tezos, Algorand Price Analysis: 18 January

XRP moved within a thin channel and a breakout in either direction did not seem likely in the short-term. Tezos retested $2.84 support and eyed an upward move once again on the charts. ALGO’s price touched August 2020 levels, but a reversal seems quite likely given the overall sentiment.

XRP

XRP retested the $0.284 level but the selling pressure dragged the price back towards $0.272 support. At press time, the world’s fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap was trading at $0.283, down by 0.14% during the last 24 hours. Moving forward, prices could trade between their present channel, and a broader market rally could be needed to push XRP above its resistance mark.
