Ripple Price Analysis
In the past few hours, bitcoin price declined more than 8% below $11,500, but ripple price was stable against the US Dollar. Earlier, the XRP/USD pair declined towards the main $0.3900 support area and settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the $0.3900 zone acted as a strong barrier for sellers and the price stayed above $0.3900.
It seems like a solid support base is forming near $0.3900. Recently, the price started an upward move and broke the $0.4000 resistance. Moreover, the price surpassed the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.4269 high to $0.3896 low. More importantly, there was a break above a major bearish trend line with resistance near $0.4000 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
Ripple price is now trading near the $0.4110 level. It tested the $0.4200 resistance and the 100 hourly SMA. Moreover, the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.4269 high to $0.3896 low is also acting as a resistance. If there is an upside break above the $0.4200 resistance, the price could test the $0.4275 resistance.
If there are more gains above $0.4275, there are chances of an upside break above the $0.4300 level. The next main hurdles are near $0.4450 and $0.4500. Conversely, if the price fails to clear the $0.4275 resistance, it could decline once again. An initial support is near the $0.4000 level.
