Ripple Price Resistance
After a decent recovery above $1.3000, Ripple price faced sellers on the upside against the US Dollar. The price traded as high as $1.3438 and it later started a downside wave. It traded lower and broke the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $1.0595 low to $1.3438 high. It opened the doors for more losses and the price traded below the $1.2500 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
During the downside move, there was a break below a key bullish trend line with support at $1.2150 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. This is a strong bearish sign since the price is now below the 50% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $1.0595 low to $1.3438 high. It could continue to move down towards the next major support at $1.1250. The mentioned level is near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last leg from the $1.0595 low to $1.3438 high.
Should there be a break and close below $1.1250, there can be a test of the $1.0000 handle. On the upside, the broken support near $1.2100 and the 100 hourly SMA are likely to prevent recoveries.
