Ripple Technical Analysis

Coming into today Ripple is now close to its 20 day moving averages, which may act as price barrier for the asset. The clearest trend exists on the 90 day timeframe, which shows price moving up over that time. Traders will also want to note, though, that a counter trend — meaning a trend going down — can be seen on the 14 day timeframe. So if you expect the primary trend to resume, the counter trend may be providing an opportunity to buy dips. Or to view things another way, note that out of the past 10 days Ripple’s price has gone up 5 them.

  The year is 2030. $LINK is now official currency of Earth and 1 LINK is worth a million USD. $BTC topped out at $50k in 2027 and flash crashed. It is now worth 4 USD per coin. $ETH is worth 8 USD per coin. $DOGE finally made it to 0.01 USD. $XRP is still worth 0.25 USD per coin.
