XRP/USD 4-hour chart: XRP looks to retest $0.46 next?

On the 4-hour chart, we can see Ripple price action trading higher again, likely as bulls want to retrace the market even further.

Ripple price action has seen a strong decline over the first half of May. However, the bearish momentum could soon change as around 50 percent has been lost since the last swing high at $0.65.

The strong rejection for further downside on Thursday could be the first indication that the trend is about to shift. Additionally, the following reaction higher and attempt to continue lower indicates weakness for sellers at the moment.

Since ETH/USD has currently set a higher low at $0.40, we could soon see a strong confirmation for a trend reversal in the form of a higher-high set at $0.46. In this scenario, we could be looking at the start of a new several-week rally.

However, for now, it is still too early to tell. If the $0.46 resistance prevents further downside, Ripple could break down again. In this case, the $0.34 low is a key level to watch.

Ripple price analysis: Conclusion 

Ripple price analysis is bullish today as we have seen a higher low set at $0.40 after failure to decline further. Therefore, we could see a major shift in momentum if the $0.46 resistance gets broken and a strong local higher high is set.
