As a researcher with years of experience in analyzing cryptocurrency markets, I have seen my fair share of market fluctuations. The current recovery wave in XRP price is a classic example of how the market can bounce back after hitting a support level. However, the road ahead is not without challenges.
As an analyst, I observed that the XRP price commenced a rebound from its support at approximately $0.4320. This upward movement has propelled the price by more than 8%. However, I’ve noticed potential obstacles ahead in the $0.5120 region.
- XRP price traded below the $0.500 and $0.4550 support levels.
The price is now trading below $0.5250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.5120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The pair could continue to recover higher if it clears the $0.5150 resistance zone.
XRP Price Starts Recovery Wave
The price of XRP continued to drop, dipping below the $0.500 level of support, much like Ethereum and Bitcoin. In fact, the bearish sentiment was so strong that it drove the price down even further, below the $0.4550 support level.
The price briefly touched a support area around $0.4320, forming a new low. However, it’s since begun a surge upward. It surpassed previous resistance at $0.4550 and $0.480. Moreover, the price has ascended above the 50% Fibonacci retracement level of the decline from the peak at $0.5765 to the low at $0.4320.
In simpler terms, the current price of XRP/USD is still lower than $0.550 and follows a downward trend. Additionally, there’s an emerging bearish trendline that offers resistance at approximately $0.5120 on the hourly chart.
As a crypto investor, I’m currently encountering a significant challenge at the trend line and around $0.5150. The first substantial obstacle for an uptrend lies near the $0.540 mark and aligns with the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. This resistance level is also close to the 76.4% Fibonacci retracement level of the downward swing from the $0.5765 peak to the $0.4320 trough.
The next key resistance could be $0.550. A clear move above the $0.550 resistance might send the price toward the $0.5550 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.5680 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.580 resistance or even $0.5880 in the near term.
Another Decline?
If XRP doesn’t manage to surpass the $0.5120 barrier, there might be a continuation of its drop. A potential floor for this decline could be around $0.4880. Should it fall further, the next significant support level is at $0.4750.
If a drop occurs below $0.4750 and the closing price is lower, the price trend could potentially fall towards the short-term support of $0.4500. A significant support level can be found at $0.4320 in the near future.
