XRP Faces Bearish Threat Despite Bullish Momentum
FxNews—Ripple (XRP) trades in a bullish channel, but the 4-hour chart has formed a bearish butterfly pattern, which is a sell signal. The MACD value is declining, and the indicator is about to flip below the signal line, meaning the bear market is strengthening.
Additionally, we notice that the recent candle is bearish and closed below the 100-period regression line, meaning the bear market could potentially resume.
Overall, the technical indicators suggest that despite the bullish momentum, XRP/USD could dip to lower support levels.
Forecast
The immediate resistance is at $0.563. The XRP/USD downtrend will likely be triggered if the price closes and stabilizes below $0.563. If this scenario unfolds, the downtrend could extend to the lower band of the bullish channel.
Bullish Scenario
If bulls (buyers) maintain their position above the $0.563 mark, and if they can close beyond the 100-period regression line, the uptrend will likely be triggered. In this scenario, the next bullish target could be retesting $0.597, followed by $0.612.
