Since August 2023, XRP has been confined to a range formation that stretched from $0.72 to $0.46. In July 2024, the price appeared to fall below the range lows, but was quick to recover, bouncing as high as $0.638.
The past four months saw the $0.64 zone develop into a stern resistance zone. The $0.5865 mid-range level was flipped to support and a breakout was attempted in the second half of September, but was unsuccessful.
At the same time, the $0.52 level has been a reliable support level, but on Friday the 25th of October, bears forced XRP to drop to $0.486.
This reinforced the bearish structure on the lower timeframes, and the daily session close below $0.52 meant sellers had the upper hand.

A bounce to$0.54 to collect liquidity before a plunge below $0.5 is anticipated for XRP in November. To the south, the range lows at $0.46 and the August low at $0.432 would be the bearish targets, especially if Bitcoin saw a sizeable pullback from near the all-time high of $73.7k.
A move beyond both $0.54 and $0.57 could set XRP up for a retest of the local highs around $0.62, but appeared unlikely given the lack of demand in recent weeks.
