- Ripple stays above the support at $0.3200 while the upside is capped below $0.3300.
- Sideways trading likely to continue while recovery hopes dwindle.
The 4-hour chart for XRP/USD shows that the third largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has no shortage of support levels. However, the upside is still limited below $0.3300 which will come to see using the confluence detector that it is the strongest hurdle. As shared in an earlier price overview, XRP/USD is still dancing at the 38.2% Fib retracement level taken between the last upswing of $0.3700 and a downswing of $0.2876.
Ripple key technical levels: confluence detector
According to the confluence detector tool provided by FXStreet, Ripple will face resistance at $0.3290. A zone highlighted by the previous high on the daily chart and the previous month high. Marginally above this zone is the strongest hurdle, $0.3323: Pivot point 1-day R1, pivot point monthly R1, the 23.6% Fib level weekly, Bollinger band 4-hour upper and the 50 SMA 4-hour. This level is viewed as a breakout point that would place XRP into a trajectory towards $0.3391 hurdle in preparation for an assault on $0.3400 and $0.3700 (April high).
As mentioned above XRP does has no shortage of support levels with the initial one lying at $0.3256: Previous low 15-minutes, Bollinger band 1-hour middle, Bollinger band 4-hour middle, 5 SMA 15’, 100 SMA 1-hour, 5 SMA 4-hour, 23.6% Fib level daily, Bollinger band 15’ upper, 10 SMA 4-hour, 100 SMA 15’ and the 38.2% Fib level daily among other indicators.
