Ripple Price Analysis: XRP Fails To Move Above $0.85 but Where is it Headed Next?

Key Support level: $0.70

Key Resistance levels: $0.96, $1

XRP has been caught in a large range since a week ago between the key resistance at $0.96 and support at $0.70. After setting a local high at $0.91, the cryptocurrency has been consolidating without sufficient momentum to break away from this range.

The current price action has formed a large pennant (represented in blue on the below chart), which is likely to resolve soon.

Technical Indicators

Trading Volume: The volume continues to decline as the consolidation progresses. However, once the price breaks away from the pennant, the volume may return.

RSI: The daily RSI  has made a lower high and is falling, this suggests a possible bearish scenario in the near term.

MACD: Similar to the volume, the MACD histogram has been falling, making lower highs since the consolidation started. While the MACD remains bullish, the moving averages are falling and may complete a bearish cross if XRP breaks below the pennant.

Bias

The current XRP bias is neutral. Price is likely to move sideways in the near term.

Short-Term Prediction for XRP Price

XRP lost its bullish momentum and is likely to continue its consolidation within the current range. Price is expected to break away from the pennant, which will likely indicate where XRP is headed next.
