Ripple Price Analysis
Yesterday, there was a strong decline in Ethereum, bitcoin and ripple price against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair declined sharply below the $0.2800 and $0.2500 support levels. Finally, the price settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average and a swing low was formed at $0.2336. Recently, the price started a decent recovery and climbed above the $0.2400 and $0.2500 levels.
Moreover, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3088 swing high to $0.2336 swing low. However, the price is facing a strong resistance near the $0.2650 and $0.2700 levels. More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3088 swing high to $0.2336 swing low is acting as a hurdle.
