XRP bullish comeback meets acute resistance, delaying recovery
Ripple faces resistance at the descending trendline and $0.6.
Declines may come into the picture if the 50 SMA support in the 4-hour chart breaks.
Ripple struggles to hold above the short-term support at $0.55 following a failed attempt to touch $0.6. A descending trendline has capped the immediate upside on the 4-hour chart. XRP is doddering at $0.56 at the time of writing.
The bearish momentum appears to be building while declines beckon toward $0.5. Note that the 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) is in line to offer support and prevent losses eyeing $0.5 and $0.45, respectively.
In the meantime, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a consolidation move could take precedence in the near term. The MACD is horizontal within the positive region, hence the bullish inclination. Ripple will remain in the no-trade zone if technical levels remain unchanged.
On the upside, a break above the descending trendline would see bulls shift the focus to $0.6. Similarly, the price action above this level could be massive due to speculation bound to rise. Recently, XRP tested the seller congestion at $0.65, which, if broken, may elevate the cross-border token toward $0.75.
On the downside, losses will extend to the support highlighted by the 100 SMA at $0.5 but may stretch to $0.45. It is essential to wait for a confirmed breakout or breakout before increase or decreasing your XRP position. In other words, trades must be aware of the ongoing sideways trading.

XRP explodes toward $0.6, leading crypto market recovery
Ripple heads back to $0.6 upon finding support at $0.4.
The resistance at $0.54 must come down to validate the upswing to $0.6.
Losses under $0.5 may revisit the support at $0.4 and perhaps extend to $0.35.
Ripple and THETA are the best performing cryptocurrencies in the top ten list. As discussed, THETA has rallied more than 32% in the last 24 hours but seems to have hit a wall at $14. On the other hand, XRP is up nearly 12% to exchange hands at $0.53.
The recovery commenced in the wake of the mid-week losses from highs around $0.6 to the support at $0.4. Price action above the 200 Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 100 SMA on the 4-hour chart confirmed to the investors that the path least resistance path is north.
Consequently, the bullish grip strengthened when XRP stepped above the 50 SMA on the same 4-hour chart. A real break past $0.5 has opened the door for gains targeting $0.6.
Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence has a bullish impulse. It also about to present a call to buy the dip as speculation mounts for the cross-border cryptocurrency to lift above $0.6.
Massive gains are expected to come into play when the MACD line (blue) crosses above the signal line. Besides, bulls will have cemented their presence in the market if the indicator enters the positive region.
Ripple has stepped above the 61.8% Fibonacci level resistance. However, the token is not out of the woods until higher support is established, preferably above $0.54.
On the flip side, the former resistance between $0.5 and $0.52 must transform into formidable support to prevent losses from extending into the $0.4 range. Note that another dip toward $0.4 could pave the way for losses as far as $0.35 and $0.3, respectively.

XRP explores downstream levels amid the hunt for higher support
Ripple rejected at the resistance between $0.55 and $0.6, resulting in declines to $0.45.
The MACD has reinforced the downtrend following the dip to the zero line on the 4-hour chart.
Ripple made an about-turn move following the failure to sustain gains above $0.55. Initially, the cross-border token had stepped above $0.6, but again the momentum lost steam, opening the door for the ongoing declines.
The freefall intensified, with XRP losing more than 12% in 24 hours. Several support levels were shattered, including $0.55 and $0.5. On the downside, $0.45 is functioning as the crucial support area in the short term.
Ripple needs to hold the ground above the 100 Simple Moving Average (SMA) and the 200 SMA on the 4-hour chart to remove excess pressure on the level around $0.45. Otherwise, losses eyeing -$0.4 and $0.35 are likely to come into the picture.
The bearish outlook has been validated by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator’s negative gradient. More sell orders will be triggered if the MACD falls into the negative territory. Besides, the least resistance path is still downwards based on the MACD line (blue) crossing under the signal line.
It is worth mentioning that the pessimistic outlook will be invalidated if the support at $0.45 holds firmly and bulls force a trend reversal above $0.5. Price action past the 50 SMA on the 4-hour chart may trigger buy orders as investors speculate the rise to $0.65.

XRP primed for a 74% move as key technical pattern matures
Ripple continues to with the uptrend following a break above the stubborn resistance at $0.5.
An ascending triangle pattern eyes a massive upswing to $1.12.
Losses under $0.5 may see the bearish leg extend back to the 200 SMA at $0.35.
Ripple is nurturing an uptrend aiming for new yearly highs. This upward movement appeared after the cross-border token overcame the stubborn resistance at $0.5. Meanwhile, XRP is doddering at $0.57 amid the persistent push by the bulls to overcome the near-term hurdle at $0.6.
The Relative Strength Index shows that XRP is in the bulls’ hands. At the time of writing, the RSI is in the overbought region in the wake of liftoff from the oversold area. As long as the indicator remains in the same position, we are likely to see Ripple continue with the up-trending market.
Simultaneously, Ripple has printed a vivid ascending triangle pattern. This pattern is bullish and usually results in a colossal breakout. It is formed by two trendlines; one connecting the relatively equal peaks and another linking the ascending lows.
A breakout comes into the picture when the price slices through the horizontal line (x-axis). Triangle breakouts tend to have exact targets measured from the highest to the lowest points, as illustrated on the chart.
As for Ripple, price action above this technical pattern would result in a massive upswing, targeting a multi-year high of $1.12. Some resistance is anticipated at $0.65 and $0.75, however, once eliminated, XRP would commence the majestic uplift.
If push comes to shove and the expected breakout fails to come into play, we can expect XRP to delay the ongoing uptrend. Losses under $0.5 will seek refuge at the 50 Simple Moving Average on the daily chart, the 100 SMA, and the 200 SMA.

Ripple retests crucial support ready for 14% upswing
Ripple faces challenging barriers toward $0.5, but a technical breakout is still in the offing.
A golden cross pattern will signify the return of the bulls in the market.
The MACD indicator signals the possibility of consolidation taking precedence in the short-term.
Ripple’s bulls are focused on recovery despite the lethargic price action across the cryptocurrency market. A recent swing north failed to complete the leg to $0.5, hitting a barrier at $0.47. The correction that ensued tested the support at $0.44, poking the buyers on the sidelines to jump in and push for higher levels.
The cross-border cryptocurrency is exchanging hands at $0.45 at writing. On Wednesday, the bullish action stalled at $0.46, forcing the price to retest the inverted head-and-shoulders (H&S) pattern’s neckline.
A reversal is expected in the near-term because the bullish H&S pattern still has a 14% target of $0.51. Note that a bounce from the neckline support is regarded as bullish in technical analysis and could boost XRP significantly upwards.
The hourly chart shows the possibility of a golden cross pattern forming in the short-term. This pattern comes into the picture when a shorter-term moving average crosses above the longer-term moving average. For example, the 50 SMA is about to cross above the 200 SMA.
Bulls have to focus on sustaining the price above $0.45 to focus on breaking above the hurdles at $0.45 and $0.5. The impact of the inverted H&S pattern is still apparent. Therefore, the least resistance path is upwards.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) brings to light the possibility of consolidation taking precedence before the breakout occurs. The same sideways trading is echoed by the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), as it levels marginally above the midline.

XRP draws closer to 30% downswing amid deteriorating technicals
Ripple rejected at $0.45, abandoning a potential triangle breakout to $0.575.
A breakdown to $0.3 is anticipated, especially if the triangle pattern's lower trendline is shattered.
Ripple's uptrend was recently cut short under $0.45. Before the recovery, the cross-border cryptocurrency has established support at $0.4. A correction has come into play, forcing XRP to abandon a potential spike to highs around $0.575.
The international money remittance token is exchanging hands at $0.42 at the time of writing. Buyers are focused on keeping the price above $0.4. However, if the price slices through this area, massive losses will be triggered, primarily because of the formation of a symmetrical triangle pattern on the 4-hour chart.
The chart pattern is created by converging a couple of trendlines, linking sequential declining peaks and troughs. Generally, the trendlines are supposed to cross at an approximately equal slope. The formation brings to light a period of consolidation ahead of either a breakout or a breakdown.
A breakdown occurs under an ascending trendline and identifies the commencement of a downtrend. On the other hand, a breakout happens at the descending trendline and indicates the start of a bullish trend. Symmetrical patterns tend to have precise price targets for the breakout or breakdown, mainly measured from the highest point to the pattern's lowest point.
Therefore, Ripple will drop by 30% if the lower trendline is smashed. A spike in volume usually confirms a breakdown. The downswing also tends to be rapid and must, therefore, be timed accurately to make the most out of the move. Note that traders must way for confirmation to avoid false breakdowns.
On the flip side, the downswing may be ignored if XRP holds above $0.42, ignoring the triangle breakdown. Moreover, trading above the upper trendline will catapult Ripple 30% to $0.575 and perhaps jumpstart the breakout to $1.
