Ripple price is trading below the broken trendline support. However, it is strongly supported by the 61.8% Fib level of the last drop from $0.3463 to a low of $0.1766 at $0.26. In spite of the losses from the yearly highs at $0.3463 posted on February 15, XRP/USD is holding ground above the moving averages. A possible golden cross hints that bullish pressure is still present and could culminate in a push above the resistance at $0.28 and $0.30.

Ripple price extends the bearish leg to $0.26 as bears continue with their rampage across the crypto market. Support at $0.27 suffered a blow as bulls rushed to defend $0.26. For now, a shallow recovery has seen XRP/USD rise to $0.2656. Although, the path of least resistance is still to the downside. Apart from the hurdle at $0.27, buyers will have a hard time moving past the 50 SMA at $0.2748 and the 100 SMA at $0.28.
