Ripple Price Analysis

Yesterday, there was a sharp decline below the $0.3000 support in ripple against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair remained in a bearish zone and later broke the $0.2920 and $0.2900 support levels. It tested the $0.2840-0.2850 support area and finally started a short term upside correction. The price is currently trading near the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.2987 high to $0.2851 low. However, there are many resistances on the upside near the $0.2920, $0.2960 and $0.3000 levels.

Besides, there is a major bearish trend line in place with resistance near $0.2920 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $0.2987 high to $0.2851 low. If there is a break above the trend line, the next resistance is near the $0.2940 and the 100 hourly simple moving average. To start a solid recovery, the price must break the $0.2950 and $0.3000 resistance levels. If not, the price remains at a risk of more losses below $0.2880 and $0.2850. The next key support below $0.2850 is at $0.2820, followed by $0.2800.

Looking at the chart, ripple price is trading well below the $0.2950 resistance and the 100 hourly SMA. Therefore, it remains in a bearish zone and any recovery from the current levels could face sellers near $0.2950.
