XRP-USD Short Term Price Prediction

Looking ahead, the first level of support lies at $1.40 (20-days MA). This is followed by $1.25 (Feb 2018 Highs), $1.10 (.5 Fib), and $1.00.

On the other side, the first significant resistance lies at $1.74 (bearish .786 Fib). This is followed by $1.98 / $2, $2.10 (1.618 Fib Extension), and $2.39 (1.272 Fib Extension – blue).

The RSI indicator remains above the 60 level but is starting to show weakness as it is beginning to dip. Despite this, the bulls will remain in control of the momentum until the RSI drops beneath the midline.

XRP is also performing well against bitcoin. The coin rebounded from 2000 SAT at the start of the week as it broke above the 20-days MA and started to move higher.

The price surge continued throughout the week and even allowed XRP to spike as high as 3000 SAT on Friday. However, XRP failed to close a daily candle above resistance at 2875 SAT (bearish .618 Fib) yesterday and has since rolled over to the current 2750 SAT level (as of writing these lines).
