Ripple Price Analysis
In the past few days, ripple price followed a strong downtrend below the $0.2800 and $0.2500 support levels against the US Dollar. Moreover, XRP/USD settled below the $0.2500 support and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).
The decline gained pace below the $0.2340 support and the $0.2200 pivot level. Finally, the price broke the $0.2150 support area and traded to a new monthly low at $0.2001.
It is currently consolidating losses above the $0.2000 support area. An immediate resistance is near the $0.2085 level. It represents the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward slide from the $0.2362 high to $0.2001 low.
On the upsides, there are many barriers for buyers near $0.2150 and $0.2185. Besides, there are two major bearish trend lines forming with resistance near $0.2185 and $0.2400 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair.
The first trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward slide from the $0.2362 high to $0.2001 low. Therefore, ripple price is likely to struggle near the $0.2185 and $0.2200 resistance levels.
To start a strong recovery and upward move, the price must break the second trend line, $0.2400, and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).
If the price fails to correct above the mentioned hurdles, there is a risk of more losses below $0.2050 and $0.2000. Additionally, if the price fails to hold the $0.2000 support, the next major stop for the bulls may perhaps be near the $0.1960 level.
