Ripple (XRP) Just Broke $0.18 and It’s Vulnerable For Bigger Decline

Ripple is down more than 5%, and it broke the $0.1850 and $0.1820 support levels against the US Dollar. XRP price could correct a few points, but upsides are likely to face hurdles near $0.1820.

  • Ripple is gaining bearish momentum below the $0.1820 support against the US dollar.
  • Bitcoin and Ethereum started a major decline below the $9,200 and $235 support respectively.
  • There was a break below a key contracting triangle with support near $0.1830 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken).
  • The pair could correct higher, but the bears are likely to protect upsides near $0.1820.

Ripple Price Dives 5%

Ripple price failed to clear the $0.1900 resistance level and started a sharp decline, similar to BTC and ETH. XRP broke the $0.1880 and $0.1850 support levels to move into a bearish zone.

The decline was such that the price traded below the $0.1820 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. There was a break below a key contracting triangle with support near $0.1830 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

Finally, it spiked below the $0.1800 support and tested the $0.1780 support. A low is formed near $0.1783 and the price is currently trading in the red zone. An initial resistance on the upside is near the $0.1810 level.

The 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.1900 high to $0.1783 low is also near the $0.1810 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.1820 level (the recent breakdown zone).

If there is a clear break above $0.1810 and $0.1820, the price could revisit the $0.1850 resistance. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.1900 high to $0.1783 low.

A successful break above the $0.1820 resistance and a follow up move above the $0.1850 level is needed to start a fresh increase. The next set of hurdles is near the $0.1900 level.

More Losses in XRP?

Ripple is currently finding bids near the $0.1780 region. Therefore, there could correct higher, but the bears are likely to protect upsides near $0.1820.

If the bulls fail to push the price above the $0.1820 resistance, there is a risk of more downsides below $0.1780 in the near term. The next major support is at $0.1725, below which the price might test $0.1700.
