Ripple (XRP) is Showing Early Signs of Fresh Rally, But $0.18 is the Key

#crypto #bitcoin

Ripple is consolidating above the $0.1720 support zone against the US Dollar. XRP price seems to be preparing for a fresh rally, but it must surpass $0.1800 for a sustained upward move.

  • Ripple is slowly rising and it is currently trading above $0.1750 against the US dollar.
  • The price is likely to face hurdles near $0.1780, $0.1800, and the 100 hourly SMA.
  • There is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.1760 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair could start a fresh rally if there is a successful close above the $0.1800 resistance.

The bulls were able to push the price above the $0.1780 resistance, but they struggled to clear the $0.1800 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A swing high was formed near $0.1798 before the pair started correcting lower.

It traded below the $0.1760 level, plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1689 low to $0.1798 high. It is currently holding the $0.1720 support level and showing positive signs.

The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1689 low to $0.1798 high is also a strong support at $0.1745. On the upside, the price is likely to face hurdles near $0.1780, $0.1800, and the 100 hourly SMA.
