XRP/USD – XRP Falls Into Price Channel Support.

Key Support Levels: $1.05, $1.00, $0.95.
Key Resistance Levels: $1.10, $1.20, $1.25.

XRP found support at $0.875 (.618 Fib & 50-day MA) toward the end of September and ended up rebounding from there. After this, XRP started to form a short-term ascending price channel in October, which allowed it to break the 50-day MA at $1.10 and reach as high as $1.25 (Feb 2018 highs).

Unfortunately, the bulls were unable to close above the upper angle of the price channel and rolled over from there on Sunday. Today, XRP fell from $1.15 to break beneath the 50-day MA and find support at the lower angle of the price channel.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at $1.10 (50-day MA). This is followed by $1.20 (upper angle of the price channel), $1.25 (Feb 2018 highs), and $1.30.

On the other side, if the bears fall beneath the price channel, the first support lies at $1.05. This is followed by $1.00 (200-day MA), $0.95 (100-day MA), and $0.875 (.618 Fib).

The daily RSI is back at the midline, indicating indecision within the market. To remain inside the price channel, XRP would need to rebound from the midline to prevent bearish momentum from entering the market.
