Ripple Elliott Wave technical analysis [Video]

XRP/USD Elliott Wave technical analysis

  • Function: Counter Trend.

  • Mode: Corrective.

  • Structure: Flat.

  • Position: Wave ((B)).

  • Next higher degree direction: Wave IV.

  • Invalidation level: N/A.

XRP/USD trading strategy

XRP appears to be showing a short-term recovery. However, this move likely represents a “wave b” within a broader correction. If the current Elliott Wave structure continues, the next wave (wave C) could result in a sharp decline. This current setup is identified as a wave (II) correction.

  • Wave a completed at 1.768.

  • Wave b is ongoing, with major resistance near 3.389.

  • If price fails to surpass this resistance and reverses, wave c could push XRP down toward Key Support: 1.533.

Trading strategies

  • Strategy

    • Swing trading opportunity (short-term)

      • If XRP fails to break above 2.90 – 3.39 and reverses, short positions may be considered, targeting the 1.53 – 1.60 range.

  • Risk management

    • A clear breakout above 3.389 suggests a possible end to wave (II) and the start of wave (III), requiring a re-evaluation of the current structure.

XRP/USD trading strategy

XRP is showing signs of recovery in the short term, which might just be wave b of a broader corrective wave. According to the Elliott Wave pattern, a significant drop may follow if wave c begins. The broader movement is part of a wave (II) correction.

  • Wave a ended at 1.768.

  • Wave b continues, with resistance around 3.389.

  • A reversal near this resistance could start wave c, aiming for Key Support: 1.533.

Trading strategies

  • Strategy

    • Swing trade strategy (short-term)

      • Price action rejecting the 2.90 – 3.39 range can offer a short trade opportunity, with targets between 1.53 – 1.60.

  • Risk management

    • A confirmed breakout above 3.389 could end wave (II) and trigger a new bullish wave (III), requiring a shift in analysis
