Ripple price corrected lower sharply after a strong rise against the US Dollar and bitcoin. XRP tested a crucial support area and it remains well bid on the downside above $0.3300.

Ripple Price Analysis

There was a strong upward move above the $0.3480 resistance in ripple price against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair surged above the $0.3500 and $0.3600 resistance levels. The price traded close to the $0.3750 resistance and settled well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. Later, there was a downside correction, but the $0.3480 support acted as a buy zone. There was a fresh increase, but the price failed again near the $0.3750 resistance area.

As a result, there was a sharp decline below the $0.3600 and $0.3480 support level. Moreover, yesterday’s highlighted important bullish trend line was breached with support at $0.3600 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The decline was such that the price even spiked below the $0.3400 level. It tested the $0.3280 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A strong buying interest emerged near $0.3280, resulting in a rebound above $0.3400. The price broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3746 high to $0.3281 low.

However, the previous key support near $0.3480 is currently acting as a strong resistance. The next key resistance is near the $0.3500-0.3510 area. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3746 high to $0.3281 low is also near the $0.3510 level. Therefore, a break above the $0.3510 level is needed for buyers to regain control in the near term.

Ripple Price Analysis XRP Chart

Looking at the chart, ripple price could decline once again towards the $0.3300 support and the 100 hourly SMA. However, downsides could be contained as the price is likely to bounce back as long as it is above $0.3280 and the 100 hourly SMA. If there is a close below the 100 hourly SMA, the price might slide back towards the $0.3000 support area.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is gaining momentum in the bearish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD declined sharply below the 50 level and it is currently near 40.

since bitcoin rise with a jump of more than 20 percent, indeed ripple hasn't followed bitcoin, i think when week end is like this when almost all altcoins experience ripple correction starting up ... hopefully up to 20 percent

Ripple is a risky investing in my opinion. Real circulating number is unknown and it can mint infinitive amount and most of the tokens held by the same company. And i choose not to trust this company regardless of what analysts say.

Ripple price is trading in a positive zone above the $0.3500 support area against the US dollar.
Bitcoin and Ethereum climbed higher recently above the $5,200 and $180 levels respectively.
There was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance near $0.3620 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The pair must clear the $0.3750 resistance to climb towards the $0.3850 and $0.4000 resistances.
Ripple price is placed nicely for more gains against the US Dollar and bitcoin. XRP might sooner or later break the $0.3750 resistance to start a solid rise towards the $0.4000 level.

Ripple Price Analysis

After a downside correction, ripple price found support near the $0.3250 level against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair started a fresh rise and traded above the $0.3380 and $0.3400 resistance levels. Later, there was a close above the $0.3500 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A swing high was formed at $0.3791 before the price corrected once again. It declined below the $0.3600 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.3258 low to $0.3791 high.

However, the $0.3500 level acted as a solid support along with the 100 hourly SMA. Besides, the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.3258 low to $0.3791 high also acted as a support. The price is currently moving higher and is placed above the $0.3600 level. Moreover, there was a break above a short-term contracting triangle with resistance near $0.3620 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair tested the $0.3700 level and it is currently signaling more gains.

On the upside, the main resistance is near the $0.3750 and $0.3780 levels. A successful close above the $0.3750 level is likely to open the doors for more gains above the $0.3850 resistance. The next main hurdle for buyers is near the $0.4000 level, where sellers are likely to appear.

Ripple Price Analysis XRP Chart

Looking at the chart, ripple price is clearly trading in a bullish zone above the $0.3600 and $0.3550 support levels. Therefore, if there is a fresh downside correction, buyers are likely to protect $0.3550 and the 100 hourly SMA. On the upside, sellers need to keep an eye on $0.3750 and $0.3780. A successful follow through above $0.3780 and $0.3800 is likely to push the price towards the $0.3850, $0.3900 or even $0.4000.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is placed nicely in the bullish zone.

Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is currently correcting lower towards the 50 level.

Major Support Levels – $0.3600, $0.3550 and $0.3520. 

Major Resistance Levels – $0.3700, $0.3750 and $0.3780.

This technical analysis is good but doesn't hold true. Just look at the price rises for all major crypto currencies and you will see these massive double digit gains, except for ripple

Ripple (XRP) Price Could Retest $0.3000 Before Fresh Upside

https://www.newsbtc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Ripple-Price-10.png

Ripple price failed near the $0.3370 level and declined below the $0.3250 support against the US dollar.
The price traded to a new weekly low at $0.3134 and remains at a risk of more losses in the short term.
There is a major bearish trend line formed with resistance near $0.3285 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The pair could extend the current decline and it may even revisit the key $0.3000 support area.
Ripple price failed to gain bullish momentum against the US Dollar and bitcoin. XRP declined below $0.3220 and it may continue to decline towards $0.3000 before completing a correction.

Ripple Price Analysis

Yesterday, we saw a strong buying interest above $0.3200 and ripple price recovered above $0.3280 against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair even broke the $0.3350 level, but it failed to clear the $0.3370 level. It seems like the price struggled to settle above the $0.3350 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. As a result, there was a fresh decline below $0.3280 and $0.3250. The price even broke the $0.3220 and $0.3200 support levels. A new weekly low was formed at $0.3134 and the price settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average.

At the moment, the price is correcting higher above $0.3150. It broke the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3326 high to $0.3134 low. However, there are many resistances on the upside, starting with $0.3220 and $0.3230. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3326 high to $0.3134 low is also near $0.3230. Above $0.3230, the 100 hourly SMA could prevent gains above $0.3250. There is also a major bearish trend line formed with resistance near $0.3285 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

Therefore, the price is likely to struggle between $0.3250 and $0.3280 in the short term. If bulls fail to surpass the trend line and $0.3300, there are chances of a fresh decline. An initial support is near the recent low at $0.3130, below which the price may revisit the $0.3100 level. However, the main support is at $0.3000, where buyers are likely to appear.

Ripple Price Analysis XRP Chart

Looking at the chart, ripple price is showing bearish signs below the $0.3250 and $0.3280 levels. A clear break and close above $0.3300 is needed for a change in trend to bullish in the near term.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD might move back in the bullish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD recovered recently from 25 and it is currently at 40.
Major Support Levels – $0.3130, $0.3100 and $0.3000.  
Major Resistance Levels – $0.3250, $0.3280 and $0.3300.

I do like XRP, but I don't think the price movements at the moment relate to the merits or otherwise of the coin. I think the general market sentiment is the main driver of price changes, and trends have been encouraging and bullish for a while now.

[KryptoKai]

Ripple prices have basically flat-lined while everything else pumped. Used to be a good investment, but it seems that the bulls have switched to bitcoin cash and litecoin. We'll have to see how XRP does throughout the year

Ripple (XRP) Price Remains At Risk Of Further Decline

https://www.newsbtc.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Ripple-Price-19.png

Ripple price recovered recently above the $0.2900 level and tested $0.2960 against the US dollar.
The price seems to be facing a strong resistance near the $0.2950 and $0.2960 resistance levels.
There is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2935 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
The pair could revisit the $0.2810 level as long as it is trading below $0.2960 and $0.3000.
Ripple price is facing a lot of hurdles on the upside against the US Dollar and bitcoin. XRP remains at a risk of more declines unless it climbs back above the $0.3000 resistance area.

Ripple Price Analysis

After a short term correction, ripple price extended losses below the $0.2950 support against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair broke the $0.2920 support level and declined heavily below $0.2900. It traded close to the $0.2800 level and settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average. A new monthly low was formed at $0.2796 and the price recently corrected higher. It broke the $0.2860 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.3077 high to $0.2796 low.

The price even moved above the $0.2900 level, but it faced a strong resistance near the $0.2950 and $0.2960 resistance levels. More importantly, the price failed to clear the 100 hourly simple moving average, which is currently near $0.2938. Besides, the price failed near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.3077 high to $0.2796 low. Finally, there is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2935 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

Therefore, ripple must break the $0.2950 resistance, the trend line, and the 100 hourly SMA. A successful close above the $0.2950-0.2960 zone could push the price towards the next resistance at $0.3000. Once there is a daily close above $0.3000, the price may start a decent recovery in the near term. On the downside, an initial support is near the $0.2860 level. If the bulls struggle to keep the price above $0.2860, the price could revisit the $0.2810 and $0.2800 support levels.

Ripple Price Analysis XRP Chart

Looking at the chart, ripple price is clearly trading in a tight range below key resistances near $0.2960 and $0.3000. The bulls need to gain traction above $0.3000 to push the price back in a positive zone. If not, there is a risk of a fresh decline towards the $0.2810 or $0.2750 level.

Technical Indicators

Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is likely to remain in the bearish zone.
Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD recently jumped above the 50 level.

Ripple is a risky investing in my opinion. Real circulating number is unknown and it can mint infinitive amount and most of the tokens held by the same company. And i choose not to trust this company regardless of what analysts say.

You have a good point and in fact there are many people who are holding the same opinion with XRP and the people behind this platform. I actually have some XRP and I bought them when it went sky-high $3. I know it was a very bad decision on my part...it is akin buying Bitcoin when it almost reached $20K. Right now...I am praying it can go as high as $.50 then I will dispose of them or maybe if Nexo can accept XRP then I will use them as collateral for a loan. XRP has been a divisive entity in the world of cryptocurrency and will continue to be playing that role for some unforeseeable time.

[Cnut237]

XRP does look hugely undervalued right now, especially relative to ETH and BTC. And history shows us that when XRP increases, it increases dramatically - by a large percentage in a very short time (followed by a slower drop-off). I think XRP is one of the coins where it's really difficult to predict price rises as they're so sudden.

[Rustamm]

The price of XRP 29 cents is really very low and I think that now in the fall is a good time to buy it. With the growth and return of the price to 32-34 cents, it will be possible to sell it and make a profit of 10%-15%. This is an optimistic, but the most likely scenario for the situation.

[sockpuppet1911]

I don't even like xrp because of fundamental reasons but on the ta point of view i have collected a bag, because it have a lot of potential to grow on btc pair.

[Red-Apple]

XRP is not going to get any "pumps" anytime soon.  it is already going through the dumping phase and nobody has any hopes for it to recover. the real investors with experience have already abandoned it until it actually starts pumping and that requires the Ripple foundation to start spending money to artificially pump it. and that can take another year.
specially with bitcoin rise most of the altcoins are going to continue seeing their value decline.

The XRP/USD pair gained traction and broke the $0.3050 level as well and settled above the 100 hourly simple moving average. It traded close to the $0.3090 level and formed a new swing high near $0.3088. Later, it started a downside correction and traded below the $0.3050 support. There was a break below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.2835 low to $0.3088 high.

The price even cleared the $0.3000 support level and tested the main $0.2950 support level.

On the upside, an initial resistance is near the $0.3000 level, above which the price may test $0.3020. However, a successful close above $0.3050 will most likely set the pace for more gains above the $0.3100 resistance level. The next key resistances are near $0.3120 and $0.3125.

On May 1, 2019, there was a defrost on the Ripple Exxrow account 1 billion XRP tokens. Currently, it is $ 308 million. Partially, the funds will most likely be sold. I expect a price drop.

[leea-1334]

So we are now almost 30 days into when you first posted this. I thought the same for XRP at several occassions to be honest, I bought into a few dips as it came down from 1 dollar and so you can imagine I am holding a bag of XRP!

But we still see such weakness. Your OP shows 0.36 and now it has lost about 20% of that. Do you really still feel it has been holding crucial support? A bounce back now is still only going to take us above 35 cents. Quite disappointing for me. What are your thoughts for $0.40 in medium term?

[BitBustah]

I don't even like xrp because of fundamental reasons but on the ta point of view i have collected a bag, because it have a lot of potential to grow on btc pair.

I'm against ripple because of how centralized it is, but your right, doesn't mean you can't make a profit from it.  Ripple will pump again, its just a matter of time.  I won't be surprised if it has higher gains than bitcoin during this next bull run.  Going back to 3 dollars is an easy 10x return.

[KryptoKai]

If they have an otc buyer who is willing to swallow up those ripple tokens then we will be ok. Otherwise it looks like a slump is on the cards right about now
