Short term prediction: NEUTRAL

The break beneath $0.2 turned XRP into a neutral trading condition. It must now break the resistance at $0.225 to turn bullish again. IT would need to close beneath $0.18 to be in danger of turning bearish.

If the bull breaks the current $0.201 resistance, higher resistance lies at $0.21 (100-days EMA). This is followed by resistance at $0.22, $0.225, and $0.229 (bearish .5 Fib Retracement). Above this, added resistance lies at $0.234 and $0.24.

On the other side, if the bears push lower, support can be found at $0.1881 (.382 Fib Retracement), $0.18, and $0.173 (.5 Fib Retracement).

Key Levels

Support: $0.20, $0.1881, $0.18, $0.173..

Resistance: $0.201, $0.21, $0.218, $0.225, $0.23.
