Whats up traders, I hope you're all had a good trading week.
Here we have XRP/USD on the 4H chart.
XRP/USD has been trading rangebound after a strong up move that finished on the 30th December. Price has recently been trading on a side-wards support level at 1.9200, and looks like price action will continue to use the side-wards support until the up move begins.
Price has been testing the support zone over the last 24 hours. When price is testing the support, it is having clear higher highs on smaller timeframes, indicating continued bull strength on the support level, further supporting an eventual breakout move to the highs.
I am expecting Ripple to pick up some momentum soon. Before this, price might test the sideway support yet again at current levels, before it truly takes off.
This trade could play out in 2 days, I have outlined these below:
-Price successfully retests the side-wards support level at the 1.9000's level, before eventually picking up strong momentum, and achieving it's longer term target at 3.0800.
-Price breaks lower, and tests a potential swing low level at 1.6180 (Which also coincides with Fibonacci retracement support) before eventually having the up move to the upside target at 3.0800.
Bare in mind, that price could move a lot further than these 2 targets outlined above. The targets above are OBSTACLES for price action, and not necessarily where will price will ultimately stop in this short term uptrend
If price tests the swing low first, bare in mind this might mean the up trend is generally weaker, and reaching the upside target of 3.0800 will not be as easy, and some wind can be expected on the way to upside target (In the form of corrective legs)
