XRP bounced by 8% today to break back above the 2020 highs and reach $0.85. Against bitcoin, XRP found solid support at a .786 Fib and has bounced to 2330 SAT.

XRP/USD – Bulls Bounce Back Above 2020 High

Key Support Levels: $0.82, $0.75, $0.65
Key Resistance Levels: $0.89, $1.00, $1.05.

Like most cryptocurrencies, XRP had a rough week in which it dropped by a steep 41%. It reached a low of $0.62 yesterday but managed to rebound to close the daily candle at around $0.79.

The bulk of the weekly price drop occurred on Wednesday when XRP fell from $170 to reach as low as $0.75 (.786 Fib). On that day, it managed to rebound to close the daily candle above $1.05.

Since then, XRP has been slowly declining throughout the remainder of the week to hit the 2-month low yesterday at around $0.61. Today, it bounced by 8% and is now trading back above the 2020 highs at $0.85.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first resistance now lies at $0.89 (bearish .236 Fib & 100-day MA). This is followed by $1.00, $1.05 (bearish .382 Fib), and $1.25 (Feb 2018 highs).

On the other side, the first support lies at $0.8282 (2020 highs). This is followed by $0.75 (.786 Fib), $0.65 (200-day MA), and $0.6.

The daily RSI has bounced higher from oversold conditions and is pointing upward, indicating an easing of the bearish momentum. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI is primed for a bullish crossover signal.

XRP/BTC – Bulls Rebound From .786 Fib Support

Key Support Levels: 2260 SAT, 2000 SAT, 1900 SAT.
Key Resistance Levels: 2460 SAT, 2600 SAT, 2737 SAT.

XRP also suffered a disastrous week against bitcoin in which it dropped from above the October 2019 highs of 3780 SAT to reach as low as 2000 SAT yesterday. The price drop caused XRP to break beneath the 50-day MA for the first time since March 2021 and also caused it to fall beneath a rising trend line.

Luckily, the bulls managed to rebound to close yesterday’s daily candle at 2260 SAT, where lies the .786 Fib support. Today, XRP has bounced slightly higher as it now trades at 2321 SAT.
