Ripple Price Resistance
Yesterday, we saw a major decline below $1.00 in Ripple price against the US Dollar. The price traded as low as $0.8399 from where it started an upside move. It moved above the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $1.9027 high to $0.8399 low. The current price action is positive since the price has moved above the $1.00 and $1.20 resistance levels.
More importantly, there was a break above yesterday’ highlighted crucial bearish trend line with resistance at $1.45 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. However, the pair is currently facing a major hurdle near the $1.50-1.60 levels. The 100 hourly simple moving average is positioned at $1.60 to act as a major barrier for buyers. Moreover, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $1.9027 high to $0.8399 low is at $1.49. Therefore, it seems like there is a crucial resistance forming near $1.50-1.60.
A break above stated $1.60 level is needed for buyers to gain control. On the downside, an initial support is at $1.30. However, the most important support is now at $1.20, which is a buy zone.
