XRP Price Forecast – 2-October-2024
The immediate support that kept the Ripple price from dipping further rests at $0.573. From a technical perspective, the downtrend will likely resume if the bears (sellers) close the XRP/USD conversion rate below $0.573.
If this scenario unfolds, the dip from $0.662 will likely extend to the September 16 low at $0.558. Furthermore, if the selling pressure pushes the Ripple price below $0.558, the next critical support or supply zone will be the September 10 high at $0.54.
Please note that the bear market should be invalidated if the Ripple bulls pull the price above the 100-period simple moving average.
Ripple Bullish Scenario – 2-October-2024
The immediate resistance lies at the 100-period SMA at $0.595, neighboring the broken ascending trendline. If bulls (buyers) drive the Ripple price above $0.595, a new bullish wave will likely emerge.
In this scenario, the pullback from $0.573 can potentially target the September 21 high at $0.612. Furthermore, if the XRP price exceeds $0.612, the bulls’ path to revisiting the September 2024 high at $0.662 could be paved.
