Ripple price prediction optimistic scenario

Ripple (XRP) has formed a bottom at $0.2940 on February 7, 2019 and ever since it makes higher highs and higher lows. There is strong support at the price levels of $0.2940, $0.3030, and $0.2858. The strength of the trend is weak and the strong support at $0.3030 may be tested again. The lower daily Bollinger band at $0.2970 should also act as a strong support.

Our upside target is $0.3420, which coincides with the upper daily Bollinger band and a very strong resistance level. The weekly chart shows a bullish Stochastics indicator crossover and strong support near the price level of $0.3014.

Ripple price prediction pessimistic scenario

We mentioned some bullish or optimistic notes above. Still we are not convinced that higher prices could occur for Ripple in March 2019. Both 20-day and 50-day exponential moving averages are declining. The recent strength of the trend measured by the ADX/DMI indicator is very weak, but the -DI line is above the +DI line, confirming the fact that the dominant trend is a downtrend, without being strong though.

The MACD indicator is flat, and the Stochastics indicator on daily chart has not made any bullish crossover. The price level of $0.3515 is a very strong resistance level, tested several times before. Other strong levels of resistance are $0.3180, $0.33 and $0.3425. On the weekly chart the level of $0.3180 is a very strong resistance. If selling pressure resumes, then some target prices would be $0.2955 and $0.2865.

Ripple price prediction March 2019 conclusion

Ripple has for now a price action that can be expressed as indecision, with a high degree of uncertainty. The trading range which started in February 2019 may lead to a breakout this month. The real question is will it be an upside breakout or a downside breakout? We cannot predict this. We can predict is though that long phases of consolidation in many cases lead to large price moves. If a breakout is to occur this month then Ripple should move higher than$ 0.35 or lower than $0.29.
