XRP/USD Price Analysis

Weekly Chart

From a top down approach, our previous XRP/USD trade plans are valid as long as prices are trading above our support zone of 35 cents—40 cents. As it stands, the market is now steadying after registering deep losses at the back of an unnecessary hash war which dragged BTC and most altcoins coins.

Surprisingly, XRP remained resilient rejecting lower lows below 40 cents. Everything else constant, conservatives should take a neutral stand until we see solid moves above the 60 cents or Oct highs mark. Since we are bullish, we shall recommend buys on dips with first targets at 80 cents and $1. If not and there are drops below 35 cents, then we recommend exiting all longs as XRP would most likely drop to 25 cents and even 15 cents.

Daily Chart

In the meantime, rejection of lower lows is a clear indication that there is demand in lower time frames. Because of this and the simple fact that there is a bull bar printing thanks to yesterday’s high volume, tight range price action mean aggressive traders can load XRP/USD at spot with stops at 40 cents. As aforementioned, first targets would be 60 cents—our immediate resistance and later 80 cents.
