XRP Technical Analysis
Unfortunately Ripple’s XRP price has not fully correlated with the social media hype. On Friday 8/19 the digital remittance token witnessed a 10% liquidation falling beneath a historical descending parallel channel. The bearish cross of the 8- and 21-day simple moving averages near the $0.37 level acted as the catalyst to induce the selling frenzy.
XRP price currently trades at $0.33. Traders should be very cautious at attempting to buy a dip as previous outlooks have forecasted target zones near $0.28 and possibly $0.24. Invalidation of the macro bearish thesis remains at $0.48. If the invalidation level is breached an optimal bull-environment could ensue with targets comfortably over $1.00 in the midterm. Updates will be issued if and when key levels change for the XRP price.
