The price of Ripple (XRP) has fallen over 40% since the beginning of November and is currently hovering around $0.22.
Since late June, Ripple has been bouncing between lower highs and lower lows – a clear sign the cryptocurrency could be in trouble.
Not only that, price is now below all its EMAs and XRP is currently trading around its yearly low.
Will the altcoin recover soon? Or will it fall further?
Let’s take a look at the XRP chart, courtesy of TradingView.
As you can see from the chart above, the price of XRP recovered during late October before crashing over 40% as we moved through November.
The October gains were lost and the price came crawling back down to below $0.28 as the huge market-wide meltdown hit the coin hard. At its lowest point over the past week, XRP touched $0.20 before recovering almost immediately.
This week, I claimed it was probable that XRP would start seeing some positive momentum as its price was recording higher lows.
If we do see XRP start to recover, I need confidence the coin can hold. As such, I’m waiting until it breaks the major resistance levels around $0.26 and near $0.30 to make new entries.
For the time being, I expect XRP to trade below its EMAs for a while and to attempt to recover towards the 200-day EMA.
Right now, volume is sitting at just above $1.2 billion – around half of what it was last week.
Safe trades!
