XRP Trading Close To $0.30, How Long Will The Support Hold?

XRP has retraced on its chart over the last few days although the coin had attempted to head upwards, the bulls tired out. XRP at the moment has secured $0.30 as a strong support level. Price of the asset has to rise above its immediate resistance over the upcoming trading sessions in order for the bulls to take charge.

Some of the indicators hinted towards a rise in bullish price action. Over the last 24 hours the coin depreciated by 4.4%, invalidating most gains XRP logged in the past week. Sellers continue to dominate the market however, buyers were also trying to re-enter as the current price has created a demand zone for the asset.
