Ripple price prediction April 2019 – Technical analysis scenarios

We will mention our two technical analysis for Ripple and our forecast for its price in April 2019 mentioning again that this is not an investment recommendation. Our Ripple price prediction for April 2019 start with the daily and weekly charts.

Ripple price prediction optimistic scenario

Ripple (XRP) made a breakout on April 2, 2019. Can this be sustainable? There is strong support at the price levels of $0.2940, $0.3030, and $0.2858. Now previous strong resistance at $0.33 should be a strong support. An interesting fact to monitor is the strength of the trend which is is weak despite the breakout.

This could mean that there could a consolidation phase and not any immediate move to higher prices. The lower daily Bollinger band at $0.2940 should also act as a strong support. Our upside target is $0.39-$0.42. The weekly chart shows a bullish Stochastics indicator crossover and the upper Bollinger band is at $0.3945.

Ripple price prediction pessimistic scenario

If a bullish breakout does not continue, then logic says either there will be a consolidation, or the rally will fade. Higher prices for Ripple in April 2019 have several strong resistances ahead. There is strong resistance at the price levels of $0.36, $0.3736, $0.3860 and $0.40Both 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages are increasing, but as of April 3, 2019 the formation of a doji candlestick shows indecision about the price.

Ripple moved as high as $0.3757, found resistance and sellers pushed price lower to the price level of $0.3493. On the weekly chart the level of $0.38 is a very strong resistance. If selling pressure resumes, then some target prices would be $0.34 and $0.3026.

Ripple price prediction April 2019 conclusion

Ripple made a breakout on April 2, 2019. But we are not convinced yet that there is more room for immediate higher prices. The optimistic scenario is supported based on current market conditions. In general, we believe that Ripple may consolidate in the price range of $0.32-$0.38 in April 2019. A breakout needs some fundamental reasons to have credibility. In the next days we will find if the recent rally was a speculative one, or some fundamental news will support the price of Ripple to higher or lower levels.
