Technical analysis of Ripple (XRPUSD) - viewing in the H4 chart
XRP / USD has been on a multi-day recovery trend that is currently facing resistance. A decision to continue the rally or to resume the overall downtrend should not be long in coming.
The ripple is in a medium-term corrective downtrend against the USD after a lively rally to a record high at 1.9670 USD. Starting from the 3-month low at $ 0.5097, the coin initiated a recovery move that remains intact. In the context of the three-wave recovery so far, it marked a high at USD 0.7331 and bounced off the short-term downtrend line located there. Most recently it found support on the recovery trendline from the June low.
Decision is near
We consider the short-term starting position to be neutral. A decision on a possible continuation of the recovery rally or a resumption of the medium-term downtrend should, in our opinion, be made soon. A break across the resistance zone at currently USD 0.7050 / USD 0.7331 would play into the hands of the bulls and make further price gains towards USD 0.7915 and USD 0.8536 (23.6% fibonacci retracement) likely. With a break above the interim high at USD 0.9300, there would also be a clearer brightening of the medium-term technical starting position with further rally potential towards initially 1.0664 / 1.1000 USD.
Bearish scenario
On the other hand, a sustained slide below the current support at USD 0.6478 would be critical for the bulls. The starting position would be immediately bearish with a breach of the interim low at USD 0.5815. In this case, we would favor retesting the previous correction low at $ 0.5097. We believe that the significant shortfall would signal an immediate continuation of the sell-off towards the USD 0.32-0.43 zone.
