Ripple Price is Facing Hurdles
After testing the $0.1850 support zone, ripple started a decent upward move above $0.1900. XRP price broke the $0.1900 and $0.1920 resistance levels to move into a short term bullish zone.
There was a clear break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $0.2250 swing high to $0.1850 low. More importantly, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance near $0.1975 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
Ripple is now trading above the $0.1950 level, but it is facing a couple of key hurdles near $0.2000. An initial resistance is near the 100 hourly simple moving average at $0.2010.
The first major resistance is near the $0.2050 level. It represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the key drop from the $0.2250 swing high to $0.1850 low. If XR price breaks the $0.2050 resistance zone, there are high chances of a sustained upward move.
The next major resistance is near the $0.2100 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a test of the $0.2200 and $0.2220 levels in the near term.
U-turn in XRP?
If ripple fails to gain bullish momentum above the $0.1960 and $0.2000 resistance levels, there are chances of a fresh decline. An initial support is seen near the $0.1950 level.
The first major support is near the $0.1920 level, below which the price could struggle to stay above $0.1900. In the mentioned case, there is a risk of more downsides towards the $0.1850 and $0.1840 levels.
