Ripple Price AnalysisIn the past few sessions, ripple price gained a strong bullish momentum above the $0.4200 resistance against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair surged above the $0.4400 and $0.4500 resistance levels to register more than 15% gains. The upward move was such that the price even broke the $0.4750 resistance and the price is now trading well above the 100 hourly simple moving average. A swing high is formed at $0.4802 and the price remains elevated above the $0.4700 level.
An initial support is near the $0.4670 level. It coincides with the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $0.4262 low to $0.4802 high. If there is a downside extension, the price could test the $0.4540 or $0.4520 support levels. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $0.4262 low to $0.4802 high is also near $0.4532 to act as a strong support for the bulls. More importantly, yesterday’s highlighted important ascending channel is intact with support near $0.4390 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
Therefore, dips remains well supported near $0.4540 and $0.4400 in the near term. On the upside, a break above the channel resistance and $0.4810 is likely to set the pace for more gains. An immediate resistance could be $0.4920, above which the price is likely to test the main $0.5000 barrier. Any further gains may perhaps clear the path for a push towards the $0.5200 level.
Looking at the chart, ripple price is following a strong uptrend above the $0.4400 and $0.4500 support. It seems like the price is readying for the next leg above the $0.4850 and $0.4920.
