Ripple price analysis
As covered in an earlier analysis Ripple has been on a sustained upward roll today. XRP/USD rose 6.25% in less than half an hour from $0.435 to $0.464. Although it corrected lower and broke the short-term support at $0.450 after hitting the ceiling at $0.464, the next support target at $0.4450 held ground. Ripple bounced back up again from the support but could not clear the resistance at $0.4550.
The crypto has broken below the trendline support at $0.450 but the support at $0.4450 seems to hold just fine, for now. The 100 simple moving average will prevent declines below $0.4450 at $0.4424. However, the stronger support for Ripple stands at $0.4350. XRP/USD trend according to the chart is bearish. In addition to that, the technical indicators on the same chart are currently sending bearish signals. Therefore, Ripple is likely to revisit the support at $0.4450 before embarking on another upward trajectory.
