Battle of the Altcoins: Ripple ready for another assault on Ethereum, XRP/USD levels

Ripple stands out from the other top cryptocurrencies by falling less than they do in times of trouble and rising more than others. Its market capitalization is breathing in Ethereum’s neck once again. What levels does it target?

The  Technical Confluence Indicator  shows that the XRP/USD is around the convergence area of $0.5450  where we see the Bolinger Band 15m-Middle, the Simple Moving Average 5-1h, the SMA 5-one-day, and the SMA 5-15m.

The first target is $0.5654  where the Pivot Point one-month Resistance 2 is notable. The next target is $0.5937  where we see the meeting point of the Fibonacci 161.8% one-month, a significant indicator, and the BB one-day Upper. Looking higher, $0.6164  is the PP one-day R2.

Ripple has strong support at $0.5313  which is the confluence of the powerful SMA 10-1h, and the SMA 200-one-day. Further support is at $0.5256  where we see the BB 4h-Middle and the Fibonacci  23.6% one-day converge.

The Confluence Detector finds  exciting opportunities using Technical Confluences.  The TC is a tool to locate and point out those price levels where there is a  congestion of indicators,  moving averages,  Fibonacci levels, Pivot Points, etc. Knowing where these congestion points are located is very useful for the trader, and can be used as a basis for different strategies.

This tool assigns a certain amount of “weight” to each indicator, and this “weight” can influence  adjacents  price levels. These weightings mean that one  price level without any indicator  or moving average but under the influence of two “strongly weighted” levels accumulate more resistance than their neighbors. In these cases, the tool signals resistance in apparently empty areas.
