Looking at the hourly chart, XRP is about to retest the  $0.20 resistance level. However, XRP's growth is unlikely to continue as the rise is not supported by the trading volume. Moreover, it continues to go down. In this particular case, there is a high probability of seeing a false breakout at the resistance level, followed by a continued drop in price.

Looking at the daily chart, XRP is about to continue trading sideways through the end of July and the start of August 2020. The trading volume is not going down; however, it still does not have enough strength to grow.

Thus, the bulls could not manage to break from the falling channel, which was formed at the end of April 2020. Respectively, trading in the yellow between the $0.19 and $0.1950 range is the most likely option for XRP.

Looking at the weekly time frame, XRP is located in a sideways trend; however, the trading volume continues to decline. A bearish divergence has also been formed, which means that the coin might decline. The nearest support level is at $0.1275, which traders may attain by the end of Summer 2020 if they fail to fix above the $0.20 price shortly.

At press time, XRP was trading at $0.1987.
