XRP/USD Daily ChartAs shown on the daily, XRP/USD bulls re-entered the market after a bearish week as the price went up from $0.1745 to $0.1789. The price is trending beneath the red MA 50, while the RSI reveals a renewed effort to exit the bearish market momentum. The holding horizontal support line had four straight sessions of that sideways trading at $0.1766.
There are many strong technical barriers huddled both beyond and beneath the existing price, meaning for the time being XRP may tend to fluctuate within a range. The lower support constraints at $0.1600 are a buy region while the upper resistance confines at $0.1900 are a sell zone. The trend may continue to stay bearish until either zone is conclusively breached by the asset.
XRP/USD 4-Hour ChartOn the intraday chart, XRP/USD initiated recovery beyond 4-hour MA 50, but the upside traction receded off as the channel resistance was approached. The horizontal line offers local support at $0.1766. The sell-off may be stretched to $0.1700 once breached. At this juncture, though, XRP appears to have established a higher low at $0.1723.
The prevailing downtrend can only be reversed if both the resistances of MA 50 and MA 200 are displaced. The bullish goal of the recent channel breakout is situated around the technical region of $0.1800 according to chart assessment. The XRP/USD pair is bullish while exchanging beyond the level of $0.1900, key resistance is discovered at $0.1800 and $0.1822. If the XRP/USD pair exchanges beneath the $0.1766 level, sellers may test the support levels of $0.1723 and $0.1700.
