Ripple Price Turns Red

Yesterday, we discussed the key reasons why ripple could decline sharply below $0.2700. XRP price did fail to break the $0.2840 resistance, resulting in a sharp decline below $0.2720 and $0.2700.

The price fell over 4% and it even broke the $0.2650 support. It traded to a new weekly low at $0.2537 and it is currently recovering higher. There was a break above the $0.2600 resistance level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.2811 high to $0.2537 low.

The bulls are currently facing resistance near the $0.2675 level. The 50% traded to a new weekly low at $0.2537 and it is currently recovering higher is acting as a resistance.

There is also a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2705 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair. It seems like the previous resistance zone near the $0.2700 may now act as a strong selling zone in the coming sessions.

If there is an upside break above the trend line, ripple could recover towards the $0.2800 resistance level. The next key resistance is near the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) at $0.2880.

Fresh Decline in XRP?

If ripple fails to clear the $0.2675 and $0.2700 resistance levels, there is a risk of another bearish reaction. An initial support is near the $0.2620 level.

The main support is near the $0.2540 and $0.2520 levels, below which the price could dive towards $0.2440. More importantly, if XRP stays in a bearish zone below $0.2700, it could drag other altcoins lower in the near term.
