Ripple Price Turns Red
After struggling to clear the $0.1950 resistance, ripple started a fresh bearish wave. XRP price broke the key $0.1880 pivot zone and support region to move into a bearish zone.
Besides, there was a close below the $0.1850 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average. It opened the doors for more downsides below $0.1820. The price traded to a new weekly low at $0.1783 and it is currently correcting higher.
Ripple corrected above the $0.1820 level. It also climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.1949 swing high to $0.1783 low. It seems like there is a short term contracting triangle forming with resistance near $0.1840 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The first major resistance on the upside is near the $0.1850 zone (the recent breakdown support). The next key resistance is near the $0.1880 pivot level.
An intermediate resistance is near the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.1949 swing high to $0.1783 low. Besides, there is a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.1915 on the same chart.
If the price corrects higher further above $0.1850, the bulls are likely to face a strong selling interest near the $0.1880 and $0.1900 levels.
