Ripple Price Analysis for August 13, 2019

The price of Ripple (XRP) is moving in a channel boundary on the two hours chart. Technically, the channel formation is a bearish flag pattern which mostly followed a break-down in price. Following the past two days of price actions, XRP is consolidating at the lower boundary of the channel.

A bounce back to $0.256, $0.26 and $0.265 resistance may once again give strengthen to the $0.25 support. If this support gets weak, a price break-down may occur as the bears may find new monthly lows at $0.245 and $0.24 levels. From a long-term perspective, Ripple’s XRP is still in a dominant bearish bias. The chart’s volume is also showing a low amount of liquidity.

Conclusively

The recent sideways movement is due to price stability in the Ripple (XRP) trading which shows that the demand-supply is at equilibrium. Another thing to note here is that the market is preparing to change the trend. Like we said earlier, a short-term bearish breakout is most likely to play out. The only condition for a bullish trend is if the $0.25 level can continue to provide support for the market.

Technical Indicator Reading

RSI is currently struggling to climb above the 50 level. A break-up will allow the market of native Ripple coin to test the channel’s upper boundary once more. Otherwise, the price may remain below $0.255.

Stochastic RSI is showing bullish sign as it nears the overbought area. If the price oscillates downward, XRP may fall back to the $0.25 support level.
