At the time of writing, XRP/USD is pivotal at $0.20. The upside is capped by an ascending trendline (forming part of a falling triangle pattern). Several attempts have been made to break above the triangle resistance but have not yielded. Instead, XRP is narrowing its action around $0.20.
XRP/USD 1-hour chart
The immediate XRP/USD upside is limited by the 50 Simple Moving Average (SMA) in the 1-hour range. On the flip side, the immediate downside is embracing support at the longer-term 100 SMA.
From a technical perspective, bulls seem to be losing traction while the sellers’ grip becomes stronger. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is falling towards the average after hitting a snag at 55. If the direction remains downwards and perhaps the RSI slides under the midline (50), Ripple is likely to plunge below the tentative support at $0.1950 and refresh the levels towards $0.19.

On the bright side, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows that buying pressure has not been ousted entirely. The indicator holds above the midline as a show of strength from the bullish camp. Ripple needs to hold above $0.20 in order to allow buyers to keep their focus on higher levels at $0.21 and $0.25 respectively.
