Ripple price prediction: Ripple moves to retest descending trendline, further downside overnight?
XRP/USD opened at $1.364 after retesting the $1.2 support yesterday and closing bullish. Since then, the Ripple price has moved higher and has reached the $1.4 mark. The first resistance is seen higher, around the $1.45 mark, where the several-day descending resistance trend line is located. From the trendline, XRP/USD will likely reverse and make another move lower over the weekend.

XRP/USD 4-hour chart – XRP retests support around $1.25 overnight
On the 4-hour chart, we can see Ripple price moving higher over the last hours towards the several-day descending resistance trendline.
Overall, Ripple still retraces after peaking around the $1.75 mark at the beginning of May and setting a new major swing lower high. Since then, several lower highs and lows have been establishing, with a clear descending trendline formed from the past three highs. This indicates that Ripple is still in a relatively strong retracement, and we could see further lows set later this month.
Yesterday, we saw Ripple find support around the $1.20 mark once again. After a brief push higher, Ripple moved sideways overnight as it established a support base for the next move higher.
Earlier today, Ripple started to move higher and currently trades below the $1.40 mark. Once the descending trendline is retested, we should see a further lower low attempted to be set over the weekend. Since the next major support is located at the $1 mark, we could see XRP/USD drop another 25-30 percent from the current price.
Alternatively, if the Ripple price action gains more bullish momentum and breaks above the descending trendline, we should see further push to $1.50 previous swing high. From there, XRP will likely start to reverse in a much serious way.
Ripple Price Prediction: Conclusion
Ripple price prediction is bearish as the market moves to retest the several-day descending trendline of resistance over the past hours. Therefore, unless XRP/USD can break above the resistance, we expect another push lower over the weekend.
