Ripple (XRP) Is Recovering And Primed To Test $0.17: Here’s Why

Ripple (XRP)

Ripple is started a decent recovery from the $0.1280 support zone against the US Dollar. XRP price is likely to surpass the $0.1500 resistance and trade towards the $0.1700 resistance.

Ripple Price is Testing Key Resistance

After trading close to the $0.1280 support, ripple started a decent recovery. XRP price broke the $0.1380 and $0.1400 resistance levels to move into a short term positive zone.

The price even climbed above the $0.1500 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It traded as high as $0.1546 and recently corrected lower. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1281 low to $0.1546 high.

However, the decline was limited as the price found support near the $0.1450 region. At the outset, there is a short term breakout pattern forming with resistance near $0.1500 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

Ripple Price

If there is an upside break above the $0.1500 resistance, the price is likely to accelerate higher. The next resistance is near the $0.1550 zone, above which the bulls are likely to aim a test of the $0.1650 and $0.1700 resistance levels in the near term. Any further gains could lead the price towards the $0.2000 barrier.

Another Drop?

If ripple fails to extend its rise above the $0.1500 resistance, it could decline below the triangle support zone. An initial support is near the $0.1450 level, below which the price may perhaps test the $0.1400 zone.

An intermediate support is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1281 low to $0.1546 high. A clear break below the $0.1400 support zone could open the doors for a larger decline. The next major support is near the $0.1300 and $0.1280 levels, where the bulls are likely to take a stand.
