Descending Wedge

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:

Technical Indicators

On Apr 16, the 10-day moving average crossed below the 21-day MA. This is known as a bearish cross and often precedes price decreases. On Apr 23, the MACD line crossed into negative territory. This strengthens the validity of the previous bearish cross. Based on these indicators,  we believe the price will continue to decrease towards the support line traced above.

Reversal Areas

We now incorporate resistance areas into our analysis to better determine future price fluctuations.

The closest resistance area is found near $0.35/€0.3 was reached on Apr 15. Since then, the price has been trading below the resistance. While it is possible that slight price increases may bring XRP back to this level, price decreases from this level appear likely. XRP may drop to the support line in the near future. Lows around $0.3/€0.265 might be expected.

Summary of Analysis

Based on this analysis, the price of Ripple is likely to decrease at the rate predicted by the wedge and eventually reach the long-term support line. While slight price gains toward the resistance area are possible, they would likely precede greater losses.
