Major resistance hurdle

The cup-and-handle bullish reversal setup has a tendency to meet its profit target in a 61% rate of success, according to veteran analyst Thomas Bulkowski. 

But, it seems XRP’s situation falls within the 39% failure spectrum due to a conflicting technical signal presented by its 200-4H exponential moving average (EMA).

XRP’s 200-4H EMA (nowhere wave within the chart below) has formerly offered like a strong distribution signal. Particularly, in April 2022, the token tried to break over the stated wave resistance multiple occasions, simply to face rejections on every check it out fell 65% to $.28 later.

The continuing cup-and-handle breakout has stalled halfway after XRP retested the 200-4H EMA as resistance on June 23. Now, the token awaits further bias confirmation while risking a cost decline much like what transpired after April.

XRP’s overbought relative strength index (RSI), now above 70, also raises the potential of an interim cost correction.

On the other hand, anticipations that Ripple would win the suit filed through the U.S. Registration (SEC) for “allegedly” selling unregistered securities could negate the bearish setups. 

That being stated, XRP could rebound toward $.91 through the finish of the year when the ongoing retracement continues any more. Interestingly, the token has bounced after testing lengthy-term climbing trendline support, as proven below.

The bounce has additionally adopted XRP’s weekly relative strength index (RSI) decline below 30 — an oversold threshold, which signals a possible buying chance.
