Ripple Price Resistance And Support
Ripple price is 1.86% higher at $0.2051 as the number three cryptocurrency regains the short term positive momentum above the 50-day moving average. The long term technical picture remains bearish, and only a credible close above the 100-day moving average might cancel it.
Looking north, immediate resistance for Ripple price will be met at $0.2080 the daily top; If XRPUSD remains bid above $0.2080, the next hurdle will be met at $0.2109 the 100-day moving average. A break above 0.2109 might open the way for a bigger move higher. Next resistance area to watch is at $0.2210 the 200-day SMA.
On the other side, the first support for Ripple stands at $0.2010 the daily low. The next strong support will be met at $0.1971 the 50-day moving average. If Ripple breaks below $0.1971 support level, XRPUSD price could correct further towards the $0.1924 the low from May 12.
