XRP Price Analysis

Ripple’s native has emerged as the biggest loser during the day, as the coin has gone by 2.69% in the meantime. Currently trading at $0.34, XRP saw a significant decline after December 14th. Similar to Bitcoin, the coin dipped below $0.35 on December 16th.

Hours ago XRP hit $0.33, the lowest level since November 14th. Besides having breached $0.34 once, the coin still has a support at the price mark. If XRP dipped down below to $0.33 again, the next support will be at $0.32. In the most chaotic scenario if the Bitcoin crashes below $15k, XRP would certainly be below $0.30.

Further, on the upper side, XRP has a resistance at $0.35 and $0.37. Most likely, given the Bitcoin regains $17k, XRP would then trade above $0.37.

As for the technicals, the coin’s 4-hours MACD is currently gaining momentum in the bearish zone as the RSI, 4-hours, remains below 50.
