More importantly, the price seems to be following a rising channel with support near $0.2820 on the same chart. The channel resistance is near the $0.2905 level, above which the price might test the $0.2950 resistance zone in the near term.

Downside Break in XRP?
If ripple struggles to climb above the $0.2905 and $0.2950 resistance levels, there could be a bearish reaction. An initial support is near the $0.2820 level and the channel lower trend line.
If there is a downside break below the channel support, the price could retest $0.2780. Any further losses might start another bearish wave and the price could even decline below the $0.2720 support level.
