XRP (XRP): Highlights and Trends For April 19, 2019

• The price of XRP has been on a downtrend since Apr 10.
• It is trading inside a descending channel.
• An evening doji star was created by the Apr 18 daily candle.
• XRP is trending along a long-term support line.
• There is resistance near $0.35/€0.3 and support near $0.30/€0.265.

Descending Channel

On Apr 4, the price reached a  low of $0.325. Several market cycles were subsequently completed. The price has created lower lows each time. Tracing these lows gives us a descending support line: On Apr 5, the price reached a high of $0.386. At the time of writing, several lower highs had been reached. A descending resistance line is created by tracing these highs. Taken together, the resistance and support lines combine to create a descending channel: The trading pattern alone cannot determine if a breakout will occur. To assess this possibility, we need to take a look at daily candlestick patterns.

Evening Doji Star

The price began an uptrend on Apr 16. Two bullish daily candles were created. The Apr 18 candle had a very long upper wick. This indicates that buyers drove prices up during the day, but they encountered selling pressure that drove prices back down. Since this is occurring in an uptrend, the selling pressure is viewed as a potential reversal sign. Based on the creation of this pattern, we believe the price will continue to decrease.

Reversal Areas

To determine the actual possible future price levels given an increase, price is analyzed on one-day intervals from December 2018 to April 2019. Resistance areas are incorporated for assistance. The closest resistance area is found near $0.35/€0.3. The price reached this area and was rejected. We do not believe a breakout above this area is likely. The closest support area is found near $0.3/€0.265, coinciding with the long-term support line since Dec 2018. We believe that XR will eventually reach this area.

Summary of Analysis

Based on this analysis, the price of XRP is likely to decrease at the rate predicted by the channel and eventually reach the long-term support line. For price 2019, 2020, and five-year XRP/USD price predictions click on the green button below:
