Crypto-AST XRP/USD Breakdown - 15/01/2020
Daily chart
- On the price chart, we can see that XRP is just below main resistance region of 0.25$. This price level was previously a support zone but as we know, once supports are broken they become ceilings. It is extremely difficult for XRP to now break upwards of this level and if this occurs this is a good indication of bullish momentum to highs of 0.31$, which once again is another key resistance zones. None the less, we can observe that EMA 200, which has historically kept price down is currently at 0.27$ and even in the case that we break above the 0.25$ price resistance, we will have quite a tough time trying to break through this resistance at 0.27$. This is all an indication that there are many near term obstacles for XRP to overcome and the chances are even if it overcomes these obstacles, there is very little chance of breaking above the 0.31$ mark. In essence, there is short term bullish price action on BTC which could take us to highs of 9.4k and 10.2k and this would translate into XRP price with a rise to highs of 0.31$. Furthermore, XRP is already in overbought territory across momentum indicators and this would suggest that there is no way that we could see breaks above 0.31$ to the upside.
- Short opportunities would arise again once we see resistance at the 0.31$ price level and this would give us to see a momentous trade with targets to 0.18$ to the downside from 0.31$!
- In the long run, we expect XRP to topple down to 0.10$ and 0.15$ in order to see good long term buying opportunities. To put this opportunity into retrospective, 100$ invested at a 0.10$ low would equate to a return of 3000$ at the conservative recent high of 3$. With regards to the bearish price predictions, we do not mean to be pessimists but rather that this is an actual reality and its good to keep this in mind in your trading plan.
4 Hourly Chart
- On the 4 hourly chart, we can see that MA’s are being used as strong support and the chances of breaking above the 0.25$ resistance level seem greater. EMA 200 indicator has been used as support from the 0.21$ level and this is also a great indication of the buying pressure in the market. From this we can say that a good entry would be just above the 0.26$ mark with take profit at 0.27$ and 0.31$. An early entry is also possible at current price of 0.238$ with STOPS at 0.213$. None the less, I would advice the conservative entry of a break above the 0.26$ mark as there is some bearish consolidation below the 0.25$ price resistance and a mark of strength in the bullish direction would only come after a break of the 0.25$ price level.
1 Hourly Chart
- On the hourly chart, we see further confirmation of bullish price action by the fact that momentum indicators are in bullish territory ready for lift off. We can see that MA’s are being used as support just under the 0.25$ resistance level with good bullish candles in practise. For those looking to enter early, this is a good indication that a early entry with targets to 0.27$ EMA resistance and 0.31$, isn’t such a bad idea with STOPS at 0.21$ and gives us pretty good risk:reward.
