Ripple (XRP) Price Trend Overwhelmingly Negative, Bitcoin Dives To $7.5K – newsBTC

Ripple price is now trading below key supports against the US Dollar and bitcoin. XRP price might continue to face sellers near the $0.2480 and $0.2500 resistance levels.

In the past three sessions, there was a sharp decline in bitcoin price below the $7,800 support, resulting in a downward push in ripple and Ethereum against the US Dollar. XRP/USD failed to stay above the $0.2450 and $0.2420 support levels, and declined heavily.

Moreover, the price broke the $0.2400 support area and settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average. Finally, the price tested the $0.2350 support area and a low was formed near $0.2347.

Recently, the price started an upside correction above the $0.2400 resistance area. Besides, there was a break above the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2526 high to $0.2347 low.

However, the previous support near the $0.2450 and $0.2460 levels is currently acting as a resistance. Additionally, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.2526 high to $0.2347 low is also near the $0.2458 level.

More importantly, there is a new bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2450 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. Therefore, ripple price might struggle to clear the $0.2450 and $0.2460 resistance levels.

Should there be an upside break above the $0.2460 resistance, the price could test the $0.2500 area and the 100 hourly SMA. The main resistance for a trend change is near the $0.2580 level.

On the downside, an initial support is near the $0.2400 level. If the price fails to stay above $0.2400, it will most likely continue lower towards the $0.2350 support area.
