Ripple Price Analysis
Yesterday, we discussed possible scenarios and bigger picture for ripple against the US Dollar. XRP price failed to climb above the main $0.2750 and $0.2800 resistance levels. Moreover, it settled below the $0.2750 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. As a result, the bears took control and pushed the price further lower below the $0.2650 and $0.2600 support.
The bearish scenario seems to be active as the price even broke the $0.2580 and $0.2500 supports to hit most targets as discussed in yesterday’s post. The price traded as low as $0.2461 before starting an upside correction. It recovered above the $0.2550 level plus the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2702 high to $0.2461 low.
