XRP/USD 4-hour chart – XRP rejects further upside and starts to move lower
On the 4-hour chart, we can see the Ripple price action moving lower over the past hours, indicating further downside later today.
The overall market continues trading in a bearish price action structure over the last week. After setting a new all-time high at $1.95 on the 14th of April, Ripple retraced more than 50 percent until support was found around the $1 mark.
After some initial consolidation, XRP/USD moved higher until the $1.70 resistance was reached on the 6th of May. After some retracement to the $1.50 support, Ripple attempted to move higher, however, the further upside was rejected around $1.60.
Over the following hours, XRP/USD spiked lower, with the $1.22 mark reached shortly after. This means that the market structure turned bearish again as both a lower high and low was established.
Yesterday, Ripple started moving higher again until another lower low was set around $1.55. This lower low resulted in a clear bearish trendline for resistance being established, meaning that XRP/USD will continue trending lower until it is broken.
Therefore, XRP/USD should move lower later today, with the next support located at the $1.30 mark. If another lower low is set, Ripple will likely continue moving lower over the next weeks. Alternatively, we could see a break above the trendline later this week, which would serve as an indication that the current bearish momentum has ended.
Ripple Price Prediction: Conclusion
Ripple price prediction is bearish today as the market starts to retrace after setting a lower high at the $1.55 mark overnight. Therefore, we expect XRP/USD to move lower towards $1.30 support to potentially set a higher low, from which to move higher later this week.
