XRP/USD: Can the altcoin come back to $0.30 by the end of the month?

The XRP price yesterday suspended its decline at the level of average prices, but this morning the pullback continued below the POC indicator line ($0.294). During the European session, the pair will reach support at $0.280. At the moment, it is the biggest loser out of the Top 3 coins.

One might assume that, in this area, the decline will slow down significantly, and the daily minimum will be around the $0.270 mark.

On the 4H chart, XRP has found a local support at $0.2850. Even though the decline might not have finished yet, bulls are about to make a retest of the $0.30 mark followed by a deeper price drop.

If a false breakout of $0.30 is confirmed, bears may push XRP to the support of $0.2757 which can be achieved by the end of August.

XRP/USD chart by TradingView

In the longer term, XRP has formed a double top pattern, which is considered a reversal. Thus, the declining trading volume confirms such a scenario, as well as a low liquidity level. Currently, bears dominate the market; the trend may change when the coin gets to the important support level at $0.27.

XRP is trading at $0.2940 at press time.
