XRP/USD prices are stable but higher meaning our last XRP price analysis is valid. Then, we had recommended traders to buy anywhere between 45 cents and 55 cents. Though our stops were hit after strong Oct 11 losses, risk off traders should buy at spot while conservatives can wait for thrusts above 55 cents. Thereafter, they can load on dips in lower time frames with first targets as per our trade plans.

XRP/USD Price Analysis
Weekly Chart – Ripple price prediction
What’s conspicuous in the last week’s bar is not the deep losses but the long lower wick that signal support of XRP in lower time frames. In fact, this is printing inside our bullish engulfing bar of week ending Sep 23 meaning our last XRP trade plan is still valid.
Therefore, as laid out before, XRP stands to recover the last three weeks of lower lows because price is finding support at around our ideal reversal point inside the Fibonacci retracement levels anchored on Sep high lows.
Earlier, we had said the area between 45 cents and 55 cents were ideal price tags for traders looking to add on dips.
Now that prices are trending around the lower limit of our support zone, we suggest bulls to execute buys only when bulls have built enough momentum to thrust above 55 cents. But, as laid out before, any depreciation below 40 cents cancels this projection.
Daily Chart – Ripple price prediction
In the daily time frame, Oct 11 losses were thick and fast. However, Oct 12 recovery did boost XRP bulls thrusting back prices back to our ideal buy zone.
As mentioned before, we recommend risk-off traders to load up at spot prices with stops just below 35 cents. On the reverse side, risk-on traders should buy when prices are above 55 cents—the upper limit of our buy zone or the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement level.
First targets would be at 80 cents and later $1 if buyers keep up the momentum.
