Key Support Levels: $0.236, $0.22, $0.216.
Key Resistance Levels: $0.244, $0.25, $0.264.

After dropping from $0.3 earlier in the month, the bulls managed to defend the support at $0.236 for the last four days straight. The support here is provided by a downside 1.618 Fib Extension, and the market has spiked beneath it but the buyers have closed each daily candle above the level.

During its downturn, XRP found support at $0.228 (.618 Fib Retracement) and bounced higher to close above $0.236. The coin has now been trapped within a range between $0.246 and $0.228 for the past four days. It must break this current range to dictate the next direction for XRP.

XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

If the sellers break beneath $0.236, the first level of support lies at $0.228 (.618 Fib). Beneath this, support lies at $0.22, $0.216 (downside 1.272 Fib Extension), and $0.206 (downside 1.414 Fib Extension).

On the other side, the first level of resistance lies at $0.244 (100-days EMA). This is followed by resistance at $0.25, $0.264, and $0.27.

The RSI is starting to make its way back toward the mid-line, which shows that the bearish momentum is starting to fade. Additionally, the Stochastic RSI is primed for a bullish crossover signal that could send the market higher when it appears.

XRP/BTC – Bulls Bravely Defend 100-days EMA

Key Support Levels: 2315 SAT, 2275 SAT, 2230 SAT.
