Ripple (XRP) Is Recovering But Here Is Why It Could Reverse To $0.165

Ripple (XRP)

Ripple is currently correcting higher from the $0.1810 support against the US Dollar. XRP price is now facing key barriers and it could reverse towards the $0.1650.

Ripple Price Facing Hurdles

Yesterday, we saw more losses in ripple below the $0.1850 level. XRP price traded to a new monthly low at $0.1812 and it is currently correcting higher.

There was a decent support base forming above the $0.1820 and $0.1840 levels. The price is now trading above the $0.1850 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.1965 high to $0.1812 low.

However, ripple price is now facing a strong resistance near the $0.1890 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.1965 high to $0.1812 low is also acting as a major hurdle for the bulls.

More importantly, there is a key connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.1890 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair is likely to struggle near the $0.1890 and $0.1900 levels in the near term.

Ripple Price

To move into a positive zone, the bulls need to gain pace above the $0.1920 level. The next key resistance is near the $0.1965 swing high, above which the price is likely to accelerate towards the $0.2000 level.

Reversal?

If ripple fails to continue above the 100 hourly SMA or the $0.1900 resistance, there are chances of a fresh decline in the coming sessions.

An initial support on the downside is near the $0.1850 level. The main support is near the $0.1810 and $0.1800 levels, below which the bears are likely to aim a test of the $0.1650 level in the near term.
