XRP Eyes $1.5 as Bulls Attempt to Regain Momentum

XRP/USD – Bulls Battles With Bearish .5 Fib Resistance

Key Support Levels: $1.30, $1.25, $1.10.
Key Resistance Levels: $1.42, $1.50, $1.55.

XRP is up by a solid 8% this week as it starts to recover from the downtrend seen over the previous fortnight. The cryptocurrency found support at $1.00 on Monday and started to surge higher from there, spiking to $1.50 on Tuesday.

Over the past couple of days, XRP struggled to close a daily candle above resistance at $1.42. This is provided by a bearish .5 Fib Retracement from the previous downtrend over the past fortnight. A breakout and daily closing candle above this resistance would be needed for XRP to continue back to the April highs again.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, once the bulls break $1.42, the first resistance lies at $1.50. This is closely followed by $1.55 (bearish .618 Fib), $1.74 (bearish .786 Fib), and $1.82 (April High-day closing price).

On the other side, the first support lies at $1.30. This is followed by $1.25 (Feb 2018 highs), $1.20, $1.10 (.5 Fib), and $1.00.

The RSI has bounced back above the midline as the buyers take control of the market momentum again. It is currently battling to create a higher high above 60, which should allow XRP to break above the $1.42 resistance.
