Ripple (XRP) Closes Last Hour Up $0.00; Eyes 50 Day Average, 2 Day Up Streak Snapped, Pin Bar Pattern Appearing on Chart

The Hourly View for XRP

Last Updated March 19, 2021, 04:017 GMT

Currently, Ripple’s price is up $0 (0.26%) from the hour prior. This is a reversal of the price action on the previous hour, in which price moved up. If you’re a trend trader, consider that the strongest clear trend on the hourly chart exists on the 50 hour timeframe. The moving averages on the hourly timeframe suggest a choppiness in price, as the 20, 50, 100 and 200 are all in a mixed alignment — meaning the trend across timeframes is inconsistent, indicating a potential opportunity for rangebound traders.

  • From BrumDogMillion:

    OMG my mate has lost all his #XRP on Wirex as a storage Fee! I’m so angry and disappointed for him! I told him that @wirexapp was a safe exchange! I want answers @wirexapp you can’t warrant taking over £1000 as fees that is criminal! He will be taking it further!!

  • From CryptoBull2020:

    I don’t remember a time over the past three years where #XRP was talked about LESS than now when it comes to price. It simply is on no one’s radar. Instead the #XRPCommunity is shilled PAC, XDC, and god knows what other coins. I am bullish on $XRP ?

  • From nietzbux:

    XRP is being held down in a bull run, massively hurting its holders, and the SEC member who gave ETH clarity was getting paid millions by a law firm in the ETH Alliance.This entire space is dangerously close to a giant Ponzi and SEC wants to go through Chris’ bank statements.

Ripple took another legal jab at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that could tip the scales in its favor….A positive outcome from the new motion could benefit XRP price in the mid-to-short term scenario….However, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.43 seems to have done an excellent job preventing XRP price from dropping lower.
