XRP Price Analysis: 15 December

2min Read

The month of December has been disappointing for XRP. The token hasn’t been able to recover a position above $0.68 and at the time of writing, it was below its immediate support turned resistance at $0.52. The bullish momentum had slowed down but there were signs of short-term revival. However, it might be a little more difficult than expected to rally back above its press time resistance levels.

As illustrated by the chart, XRP gradually declined in value this month and on 12 December, it dropped under the support at $0.52. While the price has continued to decline, its movement has been restricted under a falling wedge pattern. A falling wedge pattern leads to a bullish breakout but at press time, the likeliness of such a turnaround seemed minimal. XRP was valued at $0.484, and the asset has to re-trace from $0.46 to have any chance of pulling back above $0.52.

There were a couple of mixed signals too. The 50-Moving Average was signifying high selling pressure as the asset tumbled under the indicator. However, a major bullish indicator was the fact that the trading volume had declined alongside price, so any surge in volume may trigger a bull run.

Market Reasoning:

Stochastic RSI would allow XRP traders to be optimistic as the blue line appeared to complete a bullish crossover around the oversold region, a development that may trigger a surge over the next few hours. The Awesome Oscillator or AO was extremely bearish, with bears pulling in higher momentum.

The MACD continued to indicate a bearish trend, but the RSI may trigger a reversal soon.

Important Ranges

Resistance: $0.68, $0.52
Support: $0.46, $0.42
Too risky and uncertain to open a long position

Conclusion

While XRP did have the signals indicating a bullish rise, the collective market at press time was dull so, the asset surging on its own is a long stretch. However, the asset may recover a position above $0.52 if a positive re-test is attained at the $0.46-support level.
