The Hourly View for XRP
Last Updated January 21, 2021, 13:17 GMT
Currently, Ripple’s price is up $0 (0.14%) from the hour prior. Ripple has seen its price go down 24 out of the past 30 hours, thus creating some compelling opportunities for bears. As for the trend on the hourly timeframe, we see the clearest trend on the 100 hour timeframe. Price action traders may also wish to note that we see a pin bar candlestick pattern on Ripple. Given that we see downtrend on the 20 hourly candle timeframe, and that such candlestick patterns often denote reversals, this may be worth noting. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

Ripple Technical Analysis
The first thing we should note is that Ripple is now close to its 200 day moving averages, which may act as price barrier for the asset. Volatility for Ripple has been contracting over the past two weeks relative to volatility over the past month. Whether volatility reverts will be something to watch. Trend traders will want to observe that the strongest trend appears on the 14 day horizon; over that time period, price has been moving down. Price action traders in particular will want to note that the 30 and 90 day periods appears to show price forming a base; this could indicate that a support/resistance level is developing. For additional context, note that price has gone up 7 out of the past 14 days.
