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. This price corresponds to the area between the 50% and 61.8% Fib levels when you draw the Fibonacci retracement tool from the low of May 28 to its intraday swing high. By connecting the lows of May 26 and May 28, we can also see that there is trendline support around this price too.
