#XRP XRP Faces Critical Resistance At $2.33 โ Can Bulls Break Through?
In an X post on July 5, Ali Martinez shares a 4-hour XRP trading chart that shows the altcoin has maintained a constant price range since the beginning of June barring a temporary breakdown between June 22-23.
According to the presented analysis, the $2.33 level has consistently acted as a ceiling for XRP within the specified time frame, with multiple price rejections seen around that zone. On the other hand, the $2.13 โ $2.17 price zone has acted as an efficient support range with equal strength, creating a tight consolidation zone that could explode in either direction.
Martinez explains that a breakout above $2.33 could spark a fresh wave of bullish interest potentially pushing XRP toward the next major resistance around $2.60, a price level last seen in May. In the presence of an overwhelming buying pressure, market bulls may extend their rally toward higher resistance zones around $2.70 and even $2.84.
Alternatively, a failure to reclaim $2.33 would force XRP to remain within its present consolidation range. On the the downside, a sharp price dip below $2.13 would expose the altcoin to lower support zones around $2.03 and $1.94, thereby invalidating the current bullish setup.
While the bearish scenario is valid, its worth noting the technical setup favours a bullish outcome considering a recent recovery from the June 23 low, which saw the altcoin briefly dip to around $1.92 before staging a quick rebound above $2.21. In addition, an ensuing price dip below $2.13 was followed by another swift price bounce to $2.32.
