Ripple's technical picture
From the short-term point of view, XRP/USD is capped by a confluence of SMA50 and SMA100 (4-hour) at $0.4950. Once this hurdle is cleared, the recovery may be extended towards psychological $0.50, strengthened by the sloping trendline.
On the downside, the support lies with $0.4770 (SMA200, 4-hour) and $0.4600. A sustainable move lower will open up the way towards the recent low of $0.4157 (November 14).
