XRP/USD: Technical picture
XRP/USD used the daily SMA50 (currently at $0.2010) as a jumping-off ground and managed to clear a strong resistance of $0.2100 created by the upper line of the daily Bollinger Band and the middle line of the weekly Bollinger Band. The next stiff resistance is created by a daily SMA200 on approach to $0.2150. Ripple’s price has been moving below this MA since the end of February. Moreover, it stopped the recovery at the beginning of May. A sustainable move above this area will open up the way towards the next barrier created by weekly SMA50 at $0.2450.
