Yaz Sheikh Jul 20, 2021 13:57
XRP dropped by 6% today as the cryptocurrency falls beneath the 2019 highs at $0.556. Against BTC, it is trending back toward the 200-day MA.

XRP/USD – XRP Rejected At Price Channel Upper Angle

Key Support Levels: $0.5, $0.478, $0.331.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.55, $0.62, $0.7.

The 6% price fall today caused XRP to break beneath $0.55 (2019 highs). It has been trading inside a descending price channel since the start of June. Last week, the coin was rejected at the upper angle of this channel on numerous days.

Today, XRP dropped below a short-term falling wedge established at the start of July. As a result, it can continue to trend lower until it can break the upper angle of the descending price channel.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, if the sellers push lower, the first strong support lies at $0.5. This is followed by $0.478 (June lows), $0.331, and $0.4. Finally, added support lies at $0.35 (Feb 2020 lows).

On the other side, the first resistance lies at $0.55 (2019 highs). This is followed by the upper angle of the descending price channel. Finally, resistance lies at $0.62 (20-day MA), $0.7, and $0.72 (50-day MA) beyond the price channel.

The RSI is in the bearish favor as it sinks further beneath the midline, indicating increasing bearish momentum.

XRP/BTC – XRP Falls Beneath Symmetrical Triangle

Key Support Levels: 1660 SAT, 1550 SAT, 1500 SAT.
Key Resistance Levels: 1900 SAT 2000 SAT, 2100 SAT.

Against BTC, XRP was trading inside a symmetrical triangle pattern for the majority of July. However, over the past week, the coin struggled to break resistance at 1900 SAT, provided by the 20-day MA.

XRP fell beneath the triangle on Saturday, indicating the bearish direction for the market. The next significant support now lies at the 200-day MA below.
