- Ripple’s massive breakout hit a critical barrier at $0.75, capitulating short-term holders.
- Ripple must hold the 50 SMA or $0.34 key levels to avert potential losses toward $0.3.
- Closing the day above $0.4 could see XRP jump toward $1 as investors’ stream back to the market.
XRP flew the bullish flag above the cryptocurrency horizon from late last week, the weekend session, and on February 1. It was a perfect storm (staying in an elongated consolidation) for Ripple’s community. Our analyses in the previous weeks had predicted a breakout to $0.5. However, Ripple proved it a conservative target, hitting levels of $0.75 for the first time in 2021.
At the time of writing, XRP is doddering at $0.38 after a sudden sharp fall from the February 1 highs of $0.75. The support anticipated at $0.7 and $0.4 failed to rise to the occasion, leaving bears completely in control.
In the meantime, the 50 Simple Moving Average has come in handy, limiting a breakdown under $0.34. It is essential that this support holds, otherwise, XRP may continue with the freefall back to the dominating levels in January (between $0.25 and $0.3).

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence continues to reinforce the pessimistic outlook, especially now that the MACD line has crossed under the signal line. In other words, recovery will not be a walk in the park and more losses will come into the picture before buyers can control the cross-border token.
A comprehensive glance upward suggests that Ripple may soon renew the uptrend if the price closes the day above $0.4. Such a move would call for more buy orders as investors rush back to the market in anticipation of another run-up toward $1.
