Ripple Price Could Correct Higher
Recently, we saw a strong decline in ripple from well above the $0.2650 level. XRP price broke many supports near $0.2500 and $0.2450 levels to enter a short term downtrend.
Moreover, there was a break below the $0.2350 support level and the price settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average. The decline was such that the price traded below the $0.2280 level.
Finally, it found support near the $0.2240 level and it is currently consolidating losses. A weekly low is formed near $0.2232 and the price is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $0.2452 high to $0.2232 low.
More importantly, there is a contracting triangle forming with resistance near $0.2300 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. Therefore, a clear break above the triangle resistance could open the doors for a decent recovery in ripple towards the $0.2400 and $0.2450 levels.

An intermediate resistance is near the $0.2365 level. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent slide from the $0.2452 high to $0.2232 low.
Finally, ripple price must climb above the $0.2450 and $0.2500 resistance levels to start a fresh increase in the coming days.
More Losses?
If ripple fails to correct above the $0.2300 and $0.2365 resistance levels, it could continue to move down. The first key support on the downside is near the $0.2240 level.
If there is a clear break below $0.2240 and $0.2232, the price could move down towards the $0.2200 level. Any further losses is likely to lead the price towards the $0.2050 level in the near term.
