Ripple Price Analysis
Recently, we saw an upside break above $0.3600 and $0.3700 in ripple price against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair even broke the $0.3800 resistance and traded as high as $0.3819. Later, there was a solid increase in selling interest, resulting in a significant decline below $0.3500. The price traded below the $0.3460 support and the $0.3300 pivot level. Moreover, there was a close below the $0.3350 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
A low was formed near $0.3165 and later the price corrected higher. It moved above the $0.3250 level, but upsides remain capped. An initial resistance is the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3819 high to $0.3165 low. Moreover, there is a short term connecting bearish trend line formed with resistance at $0.3300 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there is a break above the trend line and $0.3320, the price may recover further. The next major hurdle for buyers is seen near the $0.3480-0.3500 zone. It also represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3819 high to $0.3165 low.
Looking at the chart, ripple price is clearly at a risk of more losses below $0.3200. Sellers are likely to push the price below the $0.3165 low as well. The next immediate support is at $0.3100 and $0.3050.
