XRP/USD: Ripple Breaks 200-days and 100-days EMA’s

Since our last analysis, XRP broke beneath the 200-days EMA and the rising trend line that was in play throughout 2020. It continued to fall below the .618 Fib Retracement at $0.26 and the 100-days EMA.

The price decline was stalled as it reached support at around $0.227, which was bolstered by the short term .886 Fibonacci Retracement level. It rebounded from here and is attempting to rise.

This latest price drop puts XRP beneath the opening price for February 2020 as it turns bearish. A break and close beneath $0.226 would confirm the bearish trend.

XRP Short Term Price Prediction

If the sellers push back beneath $0.23 and $0.227, additional support is located at $0.217, $0.21, and $0.20.

On the other side, resistance lies at $0.235. This is followed by resistance at $0.245, $0.25 (100-days EMA), and $0.26.

The RSI has bounced after it reached oversold conditions, which is a good sign for the buyers. If it can continue to climb, XRP might start to recover. A bullish crossover signal on the Stochastic RSI would confirm that the bulls are attempting to regroup and push higher.

XRP Short Term Price Prediction
