XRP Price has met with selling pressure again after it slipped from the $0.37 price mark. The altcoin has been consolidating over the past one week and over the last 24 hours, it lost 1.2% of its market value. In the last seven days, XRP price depreciated close to 8%.
Confidence from buyers started to fade given how long XRP has traded below its immediate resistance mark. Broader market weakness has also set it given Bitcoin’s move to $20,800 at press time. The technical outlook for Cardano (ADA) has turned bearish which was seen by the number of sellers in the market.
Due to a lack of demand for Cardano, selling strength had taken over the chart. The altcoin was trading quite close to its closest support level. The continued price action could push the XRP price to the next support line. In order for the bulls to be back, it is important that demand for XRP pushes up over the immediate trading sessions.
