XRP Price Facing the Fallout Below the 50% Retracement Level

BINANCE:XRPUSDT Chart
XRP Price| Tradingview

XRP, the digital currency of the Ripple network, is riding a short-term rally under the influence of an ascending support trendline. This dynamic support has uplifted the altcoin value from a February low of $0.49 to a recent high of $0.74, registering a 51.8% growth.

The chart projecting several reversals from this support indicates the buyers continue to accumulate this asset in market dips. As of now, the crypto market is experiencing a similar situation with the Bitcoin price correction below the $70000 mark.

Thus, the XRP price of $0.612 showcased an intraday loss of 3.44%. This downtick teases a bearish breakdown from the 50% retracement level which wavers around $0.615. 

A potential breakdown below this support may hint at the weakening of this bullish momentum, while a break below the support trendline will accelerate the selling pressure on this asset.

Should this happen, the XRP price may plunge another 10% to test support region near $0.52.

Key Support Levels to Watch

An analysis of the daily chart shows the XRP price has respected two key support trendlines, a steady one marked in blue and the less inclined black. The price sustainability above the former would indicate the near trend is aggressively bullish. On the other hand, the lower one is active for over 400 days projecting the long-term rally in this asset.

  • BB Indicator Band: The price below the midline of the Bollinger Band indicator reflects the sellers are strengthening their grip over this altcoin.
  • Moving Average Convergence Divergence: A bearish crossover between the MACD(blue) and signal(orange) signals an active correction phase.
