On March 21st, the XRP coin price witnessed a massive inflow and surged its market value by 25%. The long-bullish candle breached two crucial resistance, i.e. resistance trendline of the falling channel pattern and the monthly resistance of $0.42.

This bullish breakout offered buyers a significant footing to bolster further price rallies. However, with rising FUD in the crypto market, the XRP price reverted from the $0.475 resistance and tumbled 12.15% to reach the current price of $0.417.

With today’s bearish candle, the XRP prices breached the $0.42 flipped support, questioning the credibility of the prior breakout. A daily candle closing below the aforementioned level will project the previous breakout as a bull trap or a failed breakout.

This breakdown will intensify the selling pressure and may tumble the XRP price by 8% to retest the breached trendline of $0.38.

Conversely, if the XRP price sustains above the $0.42 mark by the day’s end, the buyers will get an additional confirmation for price sustainability at higher levels. With sustained buying, the XRP could rechallenge the $0.575
