XRP/USD: Bounces From The $0.18 Support
The daily chart shows XRP rebounding from the support at $0.181, allowing it to climb higher toward $0.20. However, it is struggling to break above $0.20, leading to the cryptocurrency to trade sideways during the last few days.
If XRP were to reverse and drop beneath the support at $0.181, it would turn strongly bearish again. For the cryptocurrency to become bullish, it must break above $0.20 and continue to create a fresh high above the December high at $0.2345.
XRP Short Term Price Prediction
If the bulls start to push higher above $0.20, initial strong resistance is located at $0.2120. This is followed by resistance at $0.2280 and $0.2345 (December high). Above the December highs, additional resistance is expected at $0.251, where lies the 100-days EMA. Alternatively, toward the downside, initial strong support is expected at $0.1815. Beneath this, support can be found at $0.17, $0.167, and $0.156.
The RSI has been rising, which shows that the previous selling momentum is fading. However, the RSI is failing to get anywhere near the 50 level, which shows that the sellers are still not ready to give up their control over the market momentum.
Against BTC, XRP continued to drop further beneath the 2700 support to reach lower support at 2600 SAT. It bounced from this support but was unable to break the resistance at 2750 SAT, causing it to roll-over to the current 2675 SAT level.
If XRP were to fall beneath the 2600 SAT level, the market would continue its bearish trajectory. Alternatively, if it were to rise and climb back above 3110 SAT (100-days EMA), the market would turn bullish.
XRP Short Term Price Prediction
If the bears continue to dominate the market and push it lower, initial strong support is located at 2600 SAT. Beneath this, additional support can be located at 2530 SAT (downside 1.618 Fib Extension), 2455 SAT, and 2400 SAT. On the other hand, if the buyers can push past the resistance at 2752 SAT, higher resistance is located at 2800 SAT, 2900 SAT, and 3000 SAT.
The Stochastic RSI recently produced a bullish crossover signal that allowed the coin to rebound from 2600 SAT. However, the RSI is still within the bearish favor. For a bullish recovery, the RSI must rise higher above the 50 level to show that the bulls are in control over the market momentum.
