Ripple's technical picture
XRP/USD recovered from $0.2390 low reached on August 14; however, the recovery momentum faded away on approach to $0.2800. The coin attempted to clear this barrier on Monday, but the upside failed to gain traction. The middle line of 1-day Bollinger Band located on the approach to the above-said level creates an additional barrier for the bulls. We will need to see a sustainable move above this handle and proceed towards the next resistance zone created by psychological $0.30 and $0.3045 (SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) daily chart).
On the downside, the local support is created by $0.2600. It is closely followed by $0.2580 (the lowest level since August 21) and $0.2500 ( the lower line of 1-day Bollinger Band). A sustainable move below this handle will open up the way towards August 14 of $0.2392 and psychological $0.2300.
