Ripple Price Support
After trading above the $1.1700 level, Ripple price faced sellers and started a downside move against the US Dollar. The price declined and traded below the $1.0000 and $0.9000 support levels. The decline was substantial, but the $0.8400 area managed to act as a strong support. XRP found bids near $0.8400 and $0.8500, and later it started an upside move.
There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $0.9200 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair also moved above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $1.1755 high to $0.8398 low. At the moment, the price is trading just around the $1.0000 level and is currently facing resistance. Once there is a break above the $1.0000 level, there could be more gains. An intermediate resistance could be the 50% Fib retracement level of the last decline from the $1.1755 high to $0.8398 low at $1.0076.
On the downside, there is a crucial bullish trend line forming with support at $0.9350 on the same chart. As long as the trend line support and the $0.8400 level is intact, the price remains in an uptrend.

My frustration with Ripple is that when they announce new partnerships they are usually all under xCurrent which doesn’t use XRP while xRapid does use XRP. I wish they would be more forthcoming in detailing exactly what protocol each new partnership agreement is signing up to use.
