Ripple Price Forming Uptrend
After forming a support base above $0.1620, ripple started a slow and steady rise. XRP price broke the $0.1700 and $0.1720 resistance levels to move into a positive zone.
The price even climbed above the $0.1800 resistance and settled nicely above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). However, the bulls faced a strong barrier near the $0.1870 and $0.1880 levels.
There were two attempts in the past 10 days to surpass the $0.1870 barrier, but the bulls failed to gain momentum. The recent high was formed near $0.1869 before ripple corrected lower.
It broke the $0.1820 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1675 low to $0.1869 high. On the downside, the $0.1780 and $0.1770 levels are currently providing support.
The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1675 low to $0.1869 high is also acting as a support. More importantly, there is a major bullish trend line forming with support near $0.1770 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair.
On the upside, ripple price must surpass the $0.1870 and $0.1880 resistance levels to start a strong increase. The next major resistance is near $0.2000, above which the price could even surpass $0.2020 in the near term.
Reversal Chances?
On the downside, there is a major support forming near $0.1770 and the trend line. If ripple breaks the trend line, it could extend its decline towards the $0.1720 support.
The main support is near the $0.1700 level and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours), below which the bulls are likely to lose control and there are high chances of a trend change to bearish.
