Ripple Price Prediction: XRP/USD recovery faces stacks of resistance levels under $0.20 – Confluence Detector

Ripple price is trading above $0.19 after a recent rejection at $0.1950. The buyer congestion at $0.19 has prevented another slide to the support at $0.1850. On the upside, an intraday high has been reached at $0.1925, marking the end of the bullish action on Wednesday during the Asian session. XRP is trading at $0.1913 after a minor retreat from the day’s opening value at $0.1923. The prevailing trend is strongly bullish and coupled with the high volatility, could jeopardize the support at $0.19. At the same time, it makes it increasingly difficult for bulls to focus on higher levels.

Looking at the 4-hour chart, Ripple is embracing support provided by the 23.6% Fibonacci level. The immediate upside is limited by the 50 SMA in the 4-hour range. A wider glance upwards highlights more hurdles at the 38.2% Fibo (former support) and $0.20.

With the RSI moving horizontally at 50, it means that XRP is falling into a consolidation period. The bulls seem to have the upper hand, especially with the MACD almost crossing into the positive side of the midline. Buyers are keen on pulling the price above $0.20 but will the sellers let them?
