Ripple analysis: recovery may target $0.3000 level

Ripple analysis

Ripple has finally started to stabilise, after the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation found strong technical support from just above the $0.2200 level.

Ripple analysis shows that that cryptocurrency could test back towards the $0.3000 level if bulls can gain traction above the $0.2500 level.

Ripple medium-term price trend

Ripple has started to consolidate in a narrow price range over recent days, after the XRP/USD retraced over 30% from the current 2020 trading high.

The broader cryptocurrency market has also started to appear more bullish over recent days, although crypto traders remain cautious after the late-February market pullback.

Ripple price analysis shows that a breakout above the $0.2500 level could see the cryptocurrency testing back towards the $0.3000 level.

A move above the $0.2500 level would push the XRP/USD above its 200-day moving average, and encourage the notion that a major technical bottom was formed last week.

Key medium-term resistance prior to the $0.3000 level is located at the $0.2800 and $0.2930 levels.

It is also noteworthy that Ripple’s key 50-day moving average is located slightly above, around the $0.2550 level.

Ripple short-term price trend

Ripple technical analysis shows that the cryptocurrency is likely bearish over the short-term while price trades below the $0.2680 level.

A number of patterns are starting to develop across the lower time frames that suggest that a rally towards the $0.2680 level may be forthcoming. 

Looking at the four-hour time frame a bullish inverted head-and-shoulders pattern with $0.0200 upside potential will be triggered if the $0.2480 level is breached.

A large bull-flag pattern is also seen across the lower time frames, with the bottom of the pattern located around the $0.2380 level.

Gains above the $0.2380 level could see buyers testing towards the top of the bull pattern, around the $0.2990 level.

Ripple technical summary

Ripple technical analysis indicates that the cryptocurrency could start to push higher after trading sideways for numerous days. A move above the $0.2480 level could encourage a rally towards the $0.3000 level.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
