XRP/USD: Ripple Remains Above 200-Days EMA

The cryptocurrency manages to stay above the 200-days EMA, which is a strong positive sign. However, the bearish pressure has now been prevalent throughout the past week.
XRP is trading in a neutral condition and would need to break $0.30 to begin turning bullish again. A drop beneath $0.26 would put XRP in danger of becoming bearish.
XRP Short Term Price Prediction
If the buyers manage to defend $0.273 and rebound higher, the first level of resistance lies at $0.289. This is followed by resistance at $0.30 and $0.31.
On the other side, if the sellers push below $0.273, the first level of support lies at the 200-days EMA at $0.264. This is followed with additional support at $0.26 (.618 Fib Retracement) and $0.25 (100-days EMA).
The RSI recently broke beneath the 50 level to indicate that the sellers are in control over the market momentum. The Stochastic RSI would need to produce a bullish crossover signal to indicate the bullish pressure is resurging.
XRP/BTC: XRP Battling To Stay Above 100-Days EMA
Against Bitcoin, XRP continued to fall beneath the 2900 SAT and dipped below the 100-days EMA as it attempts to remain above a rising trend line.
