Ripple Price Analysis

This past week, ripple price found a strong support near $0.2645 and $0.2580 levels against the US Dollar. XRP/USD remained well bid and started a decent recovery above the $0.2720 level.

There was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3078 high to $0.2621 low. Besides, the price surpassed the $0.2820 resistance area.

However, the price faced a strong resistance near the $0.2850 level. Besides, the price remained well below the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). More importantly, there is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2805 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair.

It seems like the pair failed to continue above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3078 high to $0.2621 low. Ripple price is currently retreating from $0.2850 and it is trading below the $0.2800 level.

An initial support is near the $0.2720 level. The first key support is near the $0.2650 level, below which the price could continue to move down towards the $0.2585 level.

Any further losses may perhaps lead the price towards the $0.2325 support area in the near term. Conversely, the price could bounce back from $0.2645 or $0.2585. An initial resistance is near the $0.2805 level and the trend line.

However, the bulls need to gain momentum above the $0.2850 level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours) to start a convincing upward move in the near term. The next major resistance is seen near the $0.3040 level.
