Ripple [XRP] has been one of July’s standout performers in the crypto market. The Ripple lawsuit saw the judge rule that XRP was not a security, which sparked a remarkable rally on 13 July.

Realistic or not, here’s XRP’s market cap in BTC’s terms

The higher timeframe price chart favored the bulls. Further gains toward the $1.04 level or higher were possible, although there was the possibility of a deep pullback. Yet over the past week, buyers have succeeded in driving prices above $0.8. Can traders expect further upside?

The market structure has been bullish since 17 June, when XRP was trading at $0.715. Since then, buyers have forced prices higher and established an uptrend on lower timeframes. The 1-hour chart showed that there were two regions where XRP can find demand.

The first was the support level at $0.82 that had acted as resistance on 13 July. This level was briefly flipped to support in the past few hours but it seemed the bears could drive the bulls back a bit. The next support zone was the bullish order block at $0.0782, marked in red. It has confluence with the 55-period SMA and a move below this region would flip the structure bearishly.

The OBV did not see a strong dip even though XRP was on the verge of slipping beneath $0.82. The RSI was at 51, which showed bullish momentum was waning.

The OI and CVD showed bullish sentiment but the RSI was weakening. The price dipped toward the $0.782 support zone, where it is expected to bounce higher from. Invalidation of this idea would be a drop below the $0.768 level.
