Ripple indicator analysis

Ripple's upside is doubtful as the altcoin is trading at the 68 level of the Relative Strength Index for period 14. The cryptocurrency is still trading in the overbought region of the market. This will attract sellers who will show up in the overbought region. The price of the cryptocurrency is well above the 21-day line SMA and the 50-day line SMA, which indicates further upward movement.

Technical indicators:

Major Resistance Levels - $1.95 and $2.0

Major Support Levels - $0.80 and $0.60

What is the next move for Ripple?

Buyers need to break through another resistance to continue the upward movement. In the meantime, the uptrend from August 15 has seen a retracement candlestick testing the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. The retracement suggests that XRP will rise to the 1,618 Fibonacci Extension level or the $1.73 level.
