  • XRP saw a strong 40% price explosion this week as it reached the $0.3 level.
  • Despite Bitcoin’s recent price drop this weekend, XRP remained above $0.3.
  • Against Bitcoin, XRP created a fresh 3-month high as it hit 2720 SAT.

XRP/USD: XRP Bulls Remain Strong After Crypto Market Drop

Key Support Levels: $0.291, $0.28, $0.268.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.313, $0.321, $0.331.

XRP saw an extraordinary month since breaking above the 200-days EMA at $0.21 toward the end of July. After overcoming this level, it surged higher to reach as high as $0.30 by August 1st.

Over the weekend, Bitcoin saw significant volatility as it dropped by $1,300 in just a few minutes. This caused instability in the price of XRP as it fell from above $0.32 to reach as low as $0.245. It recovered very quickly and managed to push back above the $0.30 level today.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, if the bulls continue to push XRP higher, the first level of resistance is expected at $0.313 (1.414 Fib Extension). The following targets are $0.321 (bearish .886 Fib Retracement), $0.331 (1.618 Fib Extension), and $0.337.

On the other side, the first level of support lies at $0.291 (.236 Fib Retracement). Below that, there’s support at $0.28, $0.268 (.382 Fib Retracement), and 0.25 (5 Fib Retracement).

The RSI has reached extremely overbought conditions as it hovers at levels that have not been seen since September 2018. This could suggest the market may be a little overextended and may need to retrace slightly.
