Ripple Losses Favored, Bitcoin & Ethereum In Steady Decrease @newsbtc #Analysis #Technical #Ripple #xrp

Ripple price is trading in a bearish zone against the US Dollar, while BTC and ETH are moving lower. XRP price is likely to slide towards the $0.1800 level in the near term.

Ripple Price Analysis

After a failed attempt to surpass the $0.2000 resistance, ripple price started a fresh decrease against the US Dollar. Moreover, bitcoin and Ethereum faced an increase in selling in the last two days, putting further pressure on XRP.

The price settled below the $0.1900 support area and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more losses and the price traded towards the $0.1850 level.

A low is formed near $0.1861 and the price is currently correcting higher. It surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.1934 high to $0.1861 low.

However, the price is struggling to climb above the $0.1880 and $0.1890 resistance levels. Besides, the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.1934 high to $0.1861 low is also acting as a strong resistance,

More importantly, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.1890 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The first major resistance is near the $0.1900 level and the 100 hourly SMA.

If there is a successful close above the 100 hourly SMA, ripple price might make another attempt to break the $0.2000 resistance area. If it succeeds, there could be strong gains above $0.2020 in the near term.

If not, the price may perhaps continue to move down below $0.1860 and $0.1850. Additionally, the next major support is near the $0.1800 level, below which there is an open space up to $0.1720.
