XRP Slides Back to $0.65 After Failing to Break Out

XRP/USD – XRP Stalled By June Downward Sloping Trendline

Key Support Levels: $0.6, $0.556, $0.5.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.7, $0.781, $0.8282.

XRP looked promising last week after bouncing off the 2019 highs around $0.55 and heading higher. It went on to break $0.6 and pushed higher to meet the resistance at $0.7. The support there was further bolstered by the lower boundary of the falling wedge currently trading within.

Unfortunately, XRP was unable to close a daily candle above $0.7. The resistance here is provided by a combination of the upper boundary of the wedge, the 200-day MA, and the 20-day MA).

It has since rolled over from the wedge’s boundary and dropped to $0.66.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, if the sellers continue to drive XRP lower, the first support lies at $0.6. This is followed by $0.556 (2019 highs), $0.5, and $0.478.

On the other side, the first resistance lies at $0.7 (wedge upper boundary & 200-day MA). Additional resistance lies at $0.781 (bearish .236 Fib), $0.8282 (2020 highs), and $0.91 (50-day MA).

The RSI attempted to turn bullish after hitting the midline. Unfortunately, the bulls failed to establish any momentum, and the RSI has since dropped back beneath the midline, indicating the sellers are still unwilling to relinquish control.
