The Ripple (XRP) bears are becoming stronger by the day as the $0.24 support continues to bolster over the past few weeks now. Following the recent decisive climb in the crypto market, the XRP/USD pair remains bearish on a medium-term perspective.

While Ripple’s XRP turns bullish against the USD over the past three weeks, the market is flagging bearishly on the hourly chart — although both markets are displaying a bearish outlook on a long-term. However, the Ripple’s XRP has seen an overall price variation of 0.49% over the last 24-hours of trading.

Ripple Price Prediction for August 10, 2019

After the September 7 surge, Ripple’s XRP tested the $0.266 resistance level, followed by a bearish flag pattern. While the bulls gain control of the market, the price actions approach the lower boundary of the wedge, looking for nearby supports at the $0.256. Further support may be located at $0.253 and $0.250 if the price breaks below the channel pattern.

However, we may see a bounce back at channel’s lower boundary if the $0.256 support can suppress selling pressure. The potential resistance to watch out for is the $0.262 level. A break-up might lead to a bullish continuation towards $0.265 and $0.268 on the upside. Considering the current trend, Ripple (XRP) is suggested bearish on the hourly time frame.

Conclusively

As we can see, the channel pattern has been acting as a support and resistance line for the market over the past three days now. If the channel’s lower boundary fails to act as support, the XRP market may roll back to the $0.25 price level. On the other hand, a bullish continuation may play out if the channel’s upper boundary fails to act as a resistance level for the market.

Technical Indicator Reading
