Ripple Technical Analysis

The first thing we should note is that the current price of Ripple is sitting close to its 20 day moving averages; moving average crosses often indicate a change in momentum, so this may be worth keeping an eye on. The clearest trend exists on the 30 day timeframe, which shows price moving up over that time. For another vantage point, consider that Ripple’s price has gone down 8 of the previous 14 trading days. Price action traders may wish to observe the bearish engulfing pattern that has emerged over the past two trading days; in light of the uptrend on the 30 and 90 day charts this may be particularly noteworthy, as it may signal the uptrend is cooling and ready to reverse.
