XRP/USD: Buyers Battling To Defend .5 Fib Retracement
XRP had fallen beneath a descending triangle formation pattern last week, which saw the coin headed lower until it found support at $0.175, provided by a .5 Fib Retracement. It did slip beneath this level, but the buyers are continuously battling to make sure XRP closes above $0.175 each day.
A break beneath this support could result in XRP unwinding lower toward the $0.157 support (.618 Fib Retracement).
XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, if the support at $0.175 breaks, the first level of lower support lies at $0.171. Beneath this, added support is found at $0.165, $0.157 (.618 Fib Retracement), and $0.15.
On the other side, the first level of strong resistance lies at $0.185. Above this, added resistance is found at $0.192 and $0.20 (100-days EMA).
The RSI is well beneath 50, which indicates bearish momentum within the market. If the RSI starts to rise back toward 50, this will be the first sign that the selling pressure is starting to fade. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI is in oversold conditions and is primed for a bullish crossover signal.
