Ripple Price Analysis
Yesterday, we saw the start of a strong decline from the $0.3300 resistance area in ripple price against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair declined sharply below the $0.3250 and $0.3220 support levels. There was even a close below the $0.3200 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. A swing low was formed near $0.3175 and later the price corrected higher. It moved above $0.3200, but it failed below the 50% Fib retracement level of the drop from the $0.3288 high to $0.3175 low.
As a result, there was a fresh decline below the $0.3175 support area (as discussed in yesterday’s analysis). There was a sharp decline below the $0.3100 and $0.3040 support levels. The price even broke the $0.3000 support to register more than 10% intraday drop. It traded close to the $0.2900 level and a swing low was formed at $0.2904. At the moment, the price is consolidating losses above the $0.2910 level. It recovered above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.3216 high to $0.2904 low. On the upside, there are many hurdles near the $0.3050 and $0.3060 levels.

The trend line coincides with the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.3216 high to $0.2904 low. Therefore, it won’t be easy for the bulls to push the price above the $0.3050 and $0.3060 resistance levels.

Bitcoin Price Weekly Analysis (BTC)
This past week, there was a significant rejection in bitcoin price near the $5,660 level against the US Dollar. The BTC/USD pair started a strong downward move below $5,400 after tether’s drama. The price tumbled below the key $5,280 and $5,200 support levels. There was even a spike below $5,000, plus a close below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A swing low was formed near the $4,910 level and recently the price recovered above $5,000 and $5,050.
At the moment, the price is testing the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $5,510 swing high to $4,910 swing low. However, the $5,220 area and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours) are acting as hurdles. Above $5,220, there is a major resistance near $5,280 and a connecting bearish trend line. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $5,510 swing high to $4,910 swing low is also near the $5,280 level. A successful close above the $5,280 level might trigger a decent recovery in the near term.
On the downside, there is a major bullish trend line in place with support at $5,080 on the 4-hours chart of the BTC/USD pair. The trend line support near $5,080 is very important, below which the price could test $5,000. If there is a daily close below $5,000, the price is likely to move further into a bearish zone. In the mentioned case, the price will most likely test $4,800 or $4,750.

Ripple Price Analysis
After a short term correction, ripple price extended losses below the $0.2950 support against the US Dollar. The XRP/USD pair broke the $0.2920 support level and declined heavily below $0.2900. It traded close to the $0.2800 level and settled well below the 100 hourly simple moving average. A new monthly low was formed at $0.2796 and the price recently corrected higher. It broke the $0.2860 level and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.3077 high to $0.2796 low.
The price even moved above the $0.2900 level, but it faced a strong resistance near the $0.2950 and $0.2960 resistance levels. More importantly, the price failed to clear the 100 hourly simple moving average, which is currently near $0.2938. Besides, the price failed near the 50% Fib retracement level of the last drop from the $0.3077 high to $0.2796 low. Finally, there is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.2935 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
Therefore, ripple must break the $0.2950 resistance, the trend line, and the 100 hourly SMA. A successful close above the $0.2950-0.2960 zone could push the price towards the next resistance at $0.3000. Once there is a daily close above $0.3000, the price may start a decent recovery in the near term. On the downside, an initial support is near the $0.2860 level. If the bulls struggle to keep the price above $0.2860, the price could revisit the $0.2810 and $0.2800 support levels.

Bitcoin Price Analysis

The BTC/USD pair even spiked below the $5,000 support level and formed a swing low above $4,900. Later, the price started a slow and steady recovery above the $5,000 and $5,050 resistance levels. The bulls even pushed the price above the $5,100 resistance and the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $5,509 high to $4,905 low.
It opened the doors for more gains above the $5,150 level, but the price struggled to clear the $5,200 and $5,220 resistance levels. It seems like the 50% Fib retracement level of the last slide from the $5,509 high to $4,905 low is acting as a hurdle. Besides, the 100 hourly simple moving average is also acting as a key resistance near $5,220. More importantly, there is a major bearish trend line forming with resistance near $5,230 on the hourly chart of the BTC/USD pair.
Therefore, the price must break the $5,220 resistance, the trend line, and the 100 hourly SMA. A successful close above $5,250 is likely to start a decent upward move towards the $5,300 level. The next major resistance for the bulls is near the $5,380 level. On the other hand, if there is no upside break, the price may decline below $5,150. An initial support is near the $5,100 level, below which the next stop could be $5,050.
