Ripple Price Forecast
The past few days were simply bearish as Ripple price declined below a few important supports including $0.6800 against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair even settled below the $0.6200 and $0.6300 pivot levels to set the pace for more losses.
It traded as low as $0.5570 recently and is currently trading in a range. There was a short-term correction above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last downside move from the $0.6543 high to $0.5572 low.
However, buyers could not gain upside momentum above the $0.5900 level. Moreover, the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last downside move from the $0.6543 high to $0.5572 low acted as a barrier for buyers.
At the moment, it seems like there is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance around $0.6100 on the 2-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair. The triangle resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last downside move from the $0.6543 high to $0.5572 low.
Lastly, the 100 simple moving average (2-hours) is positioned at $0.6350. Therefore, it seems like there is a crucial resistance region forming near the $0.6100 and $0.6350 resistance levels.
On the downside, the triangle support is around the $0.5600. A break below the stated $0.5600 level could push the price to a new low below the $0.5572 level.
The overall price structure remains bearish with resistances on the upside at $0.6100 and $0.6350. Supports are seen at $0.5600 and $0.5400.
