The bulls are facing a couple of strong hurdles near the $0.1840 and $0.1850 levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.1900 high to $0.1783 low is also near the $0.1842 level to act as a resistance.
Therefore, XRP price must settle above the $0.1850 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average to move further into a bullish zone.
Fresh Drop in XRP?
If ripple struggles to clear the $0.1850 resistance or the 100 hourly SMA, it could start a fresh decline below the $0.1810 support level.
The key support is near the $0.1780 level, below which there is a risk of more downsides below $0.1750 in the near term. The next crucial support is at $0.1725, followed by $0.1700.
