XRP's recent price decline has brought it below the key resistance level of $1.40, according to analysis of net open positioning data by DailyCoin. This data suggests that $1.40 and $1.35 are significant barriers that could influence the cryptocurrency's short-term price movement.
The current price of XRP is $1.31, representing a 2.37% decrease over the past 24 hours and a 6.83% drop over the last seven days. This decline comes amidst a relatively flat overall market, with the total crypto market cap standing at $2.81 trillion.
The positioning data indicates that these levels are not just technical barriers but also psychological ones, as they represent areas where many traders have open positions. This makes them critical for XRP's future price action.
