Over the last few months, XRP’s price has been showing a significant bearish divergence. While the price has been making higher highs, the 3-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has been making lower highs. This suggests that the upward momentum may not be as strong as it appears. According to analyst Josh of Crypto World, the market should not expect any major bullish moves for now.

"Don't get ahead of yourself. Short-term bounces are to be expected, but I wouldn't get too carried away with a new bull trend just yet. We're still in a broader bearish market context, and any sustained upward momentum like we saw in the past is unlikely in the near future," the analyst stated.

In the shorter term, looking at the 8-hour chart, XRP recently bounced from a support area and moved up towards a resistance zone between $2.25 and $2.30. As anticipated, the price is now struggling at this level. If XRP manages to break above $2.30 and closes a candle above this level, it could indicate a potential continuation towards $2.50-$2.60. However, the next significant resistance area lies between $2.65 and $2.80.

Currently, XRP’s price is stuck in a sideways range, struggling to find momentum in either direction. As the saying goes, ‘everything bounces at least once.’ In the short term, we can expect the price to bounce from the support around $1.90. However, it's also encountering resistance around the levels of $2.25 to $2.30.

This creates opportunities for traders to capitalize on price movements within this range. A break below the key support levels might signal an opportunity to open a short position, while a bounce off support could lead to a long position. Additionally, a confirmed breakout above the resistance could present another opportunity for short-term gains.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.25 and is up by more than one percent in the last 24 hours. As for Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency is down by more than two percent and is trading at $81,000.
