The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) records a constant rise in the red histogram with its averages displaying a bearish convergence. This highlights an increase in the selling-over-buying pressure for the altcoin in the cryptocurrency market.
On the other hand, the SMA indicator is on the path of experiencing a bullish crossover in the XRP price chart, hinting at increased price volatility. Considering the present market sentiments, the XRP coin price may continue witnessing increased price action.
When Will XRP Price Hit $4?
A sustained bullish action could result in the price of Ripple token breaching out of its immediate resistance level and heading toward its upper price target of $3. If the bullish sentiment intensifies at that point, this could push the XRP price toward its upper target area of $4 this altcoin season.
However, if the bears outrun the bulls, the Ripple price could drop toward its support trendline of the channel pattern. If the bears gain dominance at that point, this could result in the second largest altcoin plunging toward its lower support level of $2 in the upcoming time.
