On the other hand, it’s worth pointing out that a shooting star candlestick just recently formed on the 4-hour time frame of XRPUSD. This is often seen as a bearish confirmation signal. And so, if buyers run out of momentum, we could soon see ripple price fall.
A closer look at the 1-hour time frame shows that ripple price could fall to near-term support around $0.1985.
