Ripple Consolidates Above $1.0 Support as Sellers Threaten to Short

Ripple (XRP) has reached bearish exhaustion. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $1.03. Since November 18, the price has remained unchanged above $1.00 support.

If XRP holds above the current support and bounces, the uptrend will resume. Buyers will try to break out above the moving averages. If the price bars are above the moving averages, XRP will resume its uptrend. However, if XRP is below the moving averages, the tendency is for prices to fall. The market will fall to a low of $0.85 if the sellers break the support at $1.00. In the meantime, XRP/USD continues to fluctuate above the $1.00 support level.
