Ripple / USD Short-term price analysis

Ripple has a bullish short-term trading bias, with the XRP / USD pair making a strong technical recovery above its 200-period moving average on the four-hour time frame.

The four-hour time frame is showing that bulls are testing back towards the XRP / USD pair’s monthly trading high. Traders should also note that the current 2019 trading high for Ripple is located slightly above the 0.4000 level.

Technical indicators across the four-hour time frame have turned bullish and continue to signal further near-term upside.

MACD Indicator

Conclusion

Ripple has staged an impressive recovery and now faces another crucial test from key trendline resistance and also its important 200-day moving average.

The tightening descending triangle pattern on the daily time frame has been hinting for some time that a large directional breakout is nearing. Traders will also be looking for strong technical confirmation of a breakout on the daily time frame, due to the XRP / USD pair’s indecisiveness over recent months.
