XRP Hit a 30-Day Low on Above-Average Trading

A report carried on TradingView pointed to the hacker behind the Binance theft. It said the hacker has sent 139 million stolen XRP, worth about $151 million, out of one of its wallets since Thursday. The report called this a problem of XRP's own, on top of the wider market sell-off.

The $1.052 Floor Has Turned XRP 3 Times

The floor at $1.052 has turned the price 3 times since early June.

Its last turn came on 13 July.

XRP now sits right at that level, with no gap between the price and the floor. So what would the day's last price have to do to change that?

XRP Between a $1.12 Ceiling and Its $1.052 Floor

A daily close is the last price of the day.

The nearest ceiling sits at $1.12, about 6% above the price. A ceiling is a price where rises have stopped before.

A daily close above $1.12 would leave $1.18, about 12% above, as the next ceiling.

A daily close below $1.052 would put the price under the floor it sits on now. The next floor is $0.999, about 5% below.

The first daily close beyond $1.12 or under $1.052 would show which of the two levels gave way.
