Ripple Price Analysis XRP / USD: Bearish Breakout
Ripple is back under heavy downside pressure, following a sustained bearish breakdown under the psychological $0.30 support level. The cryptocurrency is now at serious risk of falling back towards its current yearly trading low.
With bearish momentum growing, the XRP / USD pair has shed around 5% of its value since the start of the week and now trades down by around 15% on a monthly basis.
The XRP / USD pair has lost its bullish short-term trading bias since falling under its 200-period moving average on the four-hour time. Furthermore, the price action surrounding the cryptocurrency has been extremely bearish since the loss of the $0.30 level last week.
The four-hour time frame also shows that a bearish trendline break has occurred, with the cryptocurrency vulnerable to further declines while trading under the $0.28 level.
Higher time frame analysis shows that a bullish inverted head and shoulders pattern will be invalidated if buyers fail to defend the $0.25 support level.
It is imperative that that the bullish pattern remains valid, as the pattern has an upside projection that could take the XRP / USD towards the $0.50 level over the medium-term.
If the bearish pattern is invalidated the XRP / USD pair could fall towards the currently yearly trading low, around the $0.21 level. The overall invalidation target of the bullish pattern could take the XRP / USD pair towards the $0.18 support level.
According to the latest sentiment data from TheTIE.io, the short-term sentiment towards Ripple is neutral, at 52.00 %, while the overall long-term sentiment towards the cryptocurrency is also neutral, at 50.00%.
