Ripple Price Analysis
Yesterday, we saw a strong buying interest above $0.3200 and ripple price recovered above $0.3280 against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair even broke the $0.3350 level, but it failed to clear the $0.3370 level. It seems like the price struggled to settle above the $0.3350 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. As a result, there was a fresh decline below $0.3280 and $0.3250. The price even broke the $0.3220 and $0.3200 support levels. A new weekly low was formed at $0.3134 and the price settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average.
At the moment, the price is correcting higher above $0.3150. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3326 high to $0.3134 low. However, there are many resistances on the upside, starting with $0.3220 and $0.3230. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3326 high to $0.3134 low is also near $0.3230. Above $0.3230, the 100 hourly SMA could prevent gains above $0.3250. There is also a major bearish trend line formed with resistance near $0.3285 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
Therefore, the price is likely to struggle between $0.3250 and $0.3280 in the short term. If bulls fail to surpass the trend line and $0.3300, there are chances of a fresh decline. An initial support is near the recent low at $0.3130, below which the price may revisit the $0.3100 level. However, the main support is at $0.3000, where buyers are likely to appear.
Looking at the chart, ripple price is showing bearish signs below the $0.3250 and $0.3280 levels. A clear break and close above $0.3300 is needed for a change in trend to bullish in the near term.
