  Ripple Price Analysis

  Recently, bitcoin price failed to clear the $12,000 resistance and declined below $11,500. It sparked bearish moves in ripple price as it failed to clear the $0.4070 level against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair topped near the $0.4065 level and started a fresh decline. It broke the $0.4020 and $0.4000 support levels. Moreover, there was a break below the $0.3950 support plus the 100 hourly simple moving average.

  The decline was such that the price tested the main $0.3840 support area. The price is now trading just above the $0.3840 support and it could correct in the short term. An initial resistance is near the $0.3900 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4065 high to $0.3837 low. Moreover, there is a key declining channel forming with resistance near $0.3920 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

  Above the channel resistance, the next key resistance is near the $0.3950 level. It coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4065 high to $0.3837 low. If there is an upside break above the $0.3950 resistance, there could be a fresh increase towards the $0.4070 level. Conversely, if ripple price fails to correct above $0.4920 or $0.4950, it could slide further.

  The main supports are $0.3840 and $0.3820. If there is a downside break below $0.3820, the price could decline heavily. The next major support is near the $0.3750 level, below which there is a risk of more losses towards the $0.3720 level.

  

  Looking at the chart, ripple price is clearly trading just above a crucial support near $0.3840. If the bulls fail to defend more losses, there could be a sharp dip below $0.3800 in the coming sessions.
