XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at $1.05 (bearish .382 Fib). This is followed by $1.25 (Feb 2018 highs & 20-day MA), $1.32 (bearish .618 Fib & 50-day MA), and $1.50 (bearish .786 Fib).
On the other side, the first support lies at $1.00. Beneath this, support lies at $0.90, $0.8282 (2020 Highs), and $0.75 (.786 Fib).
The RSI is recovering from oversold conditions but is failing to get anywhere near the midline. This indicates that, although the extreme bearish pressure is decreasing, the buyers are still unable to take control of the market momentum.

XRP-BTC Short Term Price Prediction
Looking ahead, the first resistance lies at 2662 SAT (bearish .382 Fib). This is followed by 2800 SAT (20-day MA), 2865 SAT (bearish .5 Fbi), and 3000 SAT (bearish .618 Fib).
On the other side, the first level of support lies at 2400 SAT. This is followed by 2260 SAT (.786 Fib), 2000 SAT, and $1900 SAT (July 2020 low).
Likewise, the RSI is struggling to make any ground above the midline, indicating that the bulls are still not ready to take over the market momentum just yet. To break beyond 3000 SAT, the RSI would need to break the midline to show that the buyers are in control of the market.
