Ripple Price Analysis
This past week, there was a steady rise in ripple price above the $0.1600 resistance level against the US Dollar. XRP/USD traded above the $0.1750 resistance level and the 55 simple moving average (4-hours).
It even managed to climb above the $0.1800 resistance area. However, the $0.1880 level acted as a major hurdle for the bulls. A swing high was formed near the $0.1875 and the price recently corrected lower.
There was a break below the $0.1700 support area. Besides, there was a break below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1454 low to $0.1875 high.
At the outset, the $0.1600 support area is acting as a key support along with the 55 simple moving average (4-hours). The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.1454 low to $0.1875 high is also acting as a decent support.
More importantly, there is a key bullish trend line forming with support near $0.1605 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair. The trend line holds the key, below which the price might struggle to stay above $0.1600.

The main resistance is near the $0.1880 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a test of the main $0.2000 hurdle in the coming sessions.
