Ripple Price Analysis

Yesterday, there was a strong decline in Ethereum, bitcoin and ripple price against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair declined sharply below the $0.2800 and $0.2500 support levels. Finally, the price settled below the 100 hourly simple moving average and a swing low was formed at $0.2336. Recently, the price started a decent recovery and climbed above the $0.2400 and $0.2500 levels.

Moreover, there was a break above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3088 swing high to $0.2336 swing low. However, the price is facing a strong resistance near the $0.2650 and $0.2700 levels. More importantly, the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3088 swing high to $0.2336 swing low is acting as a hurdle.

At the moment, there is a major contracting triangle pattern is forming with resistance near $0.2670 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. If there is an upside break above the $0.2670 and $0.2700 resistances, ripple price could continue to recover. The next key resistance is near the $0.2850 level and the 100 hourly SMA. If there are more gains, the price could test the $0.3000 resistance area.

Conversely, if there is a bearish break below the $0.2550 and $0.2500 support levels, the price could resume its decline. An immediate support below $0.2500 is near $0.2400. If the price fails to stay above $0.2400 or $0.2350, there could be a sharp drop towards the $0.2200 support area.

Looking at the chart, ripple price is facing an uphill task near the $0.2650 and $0.2700 levels. However, the current price action suggests that the price might climb higher towards $0.2800 and $0.2850. If not, there is a risk of another strong decline below the $0.2500 support area in the near term.

Bitcoin Pic Of The Moment
The Peace Plus One – World Sustainability Project www.WorldSustainability.Org is interested in the opportunities afforded to young people in the new economy of Caring Currency. The currency of the 99%.

The concept of Caring Currency www.CaringCurrency.com is to move from the selfish GREED IS GOOD model of the 1% to a more equitable, distributed wealth model based on the GOOD we individually do for Society, the Environment and the Economy.

Bitcoin is one of the early contenders for alternative currency, and an excellent experiment in "alternative worlds" like the www.RepublicOfConscience.com , where we ask visitors and new citizens to essentially stay where we are physically, and simply change our perspective to see the beauty and opportunity in the world.

The Be, Buy Boost Bitcoin program is a complimentary program in the physical world… to develop the acceptance, adoption, infrastructure and economic ecosystem.. An Alternative Currencies development program to increase the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in everyday transactions.

The PPO-WSP believes this is a critical effort that must be ramped up immediately to avoid alternative currencies just becoming a speculative bubble like tulilps.
