XRP/USD 4-hour chart: XRP ready to retrace?

On the 4-hour chart, we can see the Ripple price action looking to reverse as bulls are exhausted after strong push higher yesterday.

Ripple price action has continued to advance with a series of higher lows over the past weeks. After a strong spike higher to $0.85 on the 11th of March, XRP/USD established the last major swing low around $0.75 and the several-week ascending trendline.

Bulls started to push XRP/USD higher during the middle of this week, leading to the $0.80 mark rather quickly. Rejection for further upside was seen initially, leading to a spike lower before the $0.80 mark was retested.

However, after the market calmed down and formed a higher local low at $0.78 on the 18th of March, another rally began later in the day. The resistance was finally broken early yesterday, quickly leading to a new local high at $0.825.

Since then, the Ripple price action has steadily declined, likely as another local higher low needs to be established before the rally continues. The likely target for retracement is the $0.80 mark, as it previously served as strong resistance.

Ripple price analysis: Conclusion 

Ripple price analysis is bearish today as we expect retracement to follow as resistance has been found around $0.825. Likely the $0.80 previous resistance will be retested as support before further upside is achieved.
