While analyzing the four-hour price movement of XRP, it exposed the current negative sentiment. If the bearish momentum continues, the altcoin might struggle to break through its new highs and could face a pullback. It will likely test the support level at $2.19, reversing its recent gains.
If the downtrend fades and a steady uptrend resumes, the XRP price could test the $2.76 resistance level. In the case of XRP surpassing this range, the all-time high of $3.84 might be the next crucial resistance, which could ignite a new price rally.&nbsp;
It’s significant to point out that the technical indicators of XRP expose the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) line beneath the signal line, indicating the downside price movement and selling pressure with an imminent bear run.
