Ripple Price Analysis
In the past few days, there was a strong decline in ripple below the 0.0000670 support against bitcoin. XRP sellers remained in control below 0.0000670 and pushed the price below the 0.0000640 and 0.0000630 support levels versus BTC.
Looking at the chart, the price is clearly in a nasty downtrend from well above the 0.0000740 level. Later, there was a close below the 0.0000670 support and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours), opening the doors for a strong decline.
Recently, there was a recovery in Ethereum, litecoin, EOS and ripple against the US Dollar. However, XRP struggled to gain traction versus BTC and traded close the 0.0000618 level. A swing low was formed at 0.0000619 and the price remains at a risk of more losses.
On the upside, there is a strong resistance formed near 0.0000630 and a crucial bearish trend line with resistance at 0.0000630BTC on the 4-hours. The 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 0.0000689BTC high to 0.0000619BTC low is also at 0.0000635BTC.
The next key resistance is at 0.0000655BTC since it represents the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the 0.0000689BTC high to 0.0000619BTC low.
To start a strong recovery, ripple price must break the 0.0000635BTC, 0.0000655BTC and 0.0000670BTC resistance levels, plus the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). If there are additional losses, there is a risk of a break below the 0.0000615BTC support. The next major support is at 0.0000600BTC where XRP buyers are likely to take a stand.
