Ripple price analysis: XRP slowly continues consolidation above $0.40, push higher incoming?

Ripple price analysis is bullish today as we expect another attempt to move higher from the $0.40 support. Therefore, XRP/USD should head back to the $0.44 local high and attempt to break through, which would be a signal that more upside is to follow next week.

The market has traded in the red over the last 24 hours. The leader, Bitcoin, lost 3.62 percent, while Ethereum 3.93 percent. Meanwhile, the rest of the market has followed close by.

XRP/USD 4-hour chart: XRP ready to push higher?

On the 4-hour chart, we can see the $0.40 preventing further downside again, indicating that another move higher will follow over the next 24 hours.

Ripple price action has seen consolidation form over the past days after retracement from the $0.34 ow was seen on 12 May 2022. Resistance was found at $0.46, with retracement to $0.40 the following day, setting a consolidation area.

From there, XRP/USD moved sideways, with lower local highs set several times and the $0.40 mark tested as support. Since bears could not regain control, we saw the current local high set at $0.44 again yesterday, indicating that the market is still indecisive.

Additionally, the current test of $0.40 support shows signs of strength, likely leading back to the upside next. If Ripple price action can break above $0.44, a lot more upside can be expected over the next days. Alternatively, we could see the $0.40 support finally break down early next week.

Ripple price analysis: Conclusion 

Ripple price analysis is bullish today as the market has retested the $0.40 support and shows signs of rejection. Therefore, XRP/USD is ready to reverse and look to break higher local high later in the weekend.
