Despite the promising move for XRP/USD, the coin is still struggling against Bitcoin. During the week, XRP dropped as low as 2000 SAT again, where it rebounded to push back into the current resistance at 2200 SAT. The resistance here is provided by a 100-days EMA, and it has caused trouble for XRP throughout the entire period of July.

Moving forward, if the buyers continue to push higher above the 100-days EMA, the first level of resistance is expected at 2250 SAT (bearish .236 Fib Retracement). Above this, resistance is located at 2300 SAT, 2400 SAT, and 2450 SAT (200-days EMA).

Chainlink

LINK saw just a small 0.6% price hike this week as the coin hit $7.68. LINK has been on a solid rampage over the past month after it managed to surge by 63%. Toward mid-July, LINK had climbed to reach the resistance at $8.71 (1.414 Fib Extension). It was unable to overcome this resistance, which caused it to roll over and fall.

Over the past week, LINK dropped into the support at $6.90, which is provided by a .382 Fib Retracement. It managed to rebound from there as it reached $7.68 today. The coin is trapped within a symmetrical triangle and must break this consolidation to head higher again.

Looking ahead, if the buyers push above $7.68 and $8.00, the first level of strong resistance is expected at $8.71. This is followed by resistance at $9.00, $9.50, and $9.74 (1.618 Fib Extension).

On the other side, the first level of support is located at the lower boundary of the triangle. This is followed by support at $6.90 (.382 Fib Retracement), $6.50, and $6.27 (.5 Fib Retracement).

Moving forward, the first level of resistance at above 70,000 SAT lies at 77,600 SAT. This is followed by resistance at 80,000 SAT, 90,000 SAT, and 95,500 SAT (1.414 Fib Extension).
