According to U.Today, XRP slipped to $1.8261, falling below the monthly Bollinger midband at $1.8896 that traders view as critical support, before quickly rebounding back above that level. The price is now up 5.67% for January and printing its first green monthly candle since September, but indicators still point to a long road toward resistance near $3.56 and a possible return of a capitulation setup if it closes under $1.8896 next month.
