Ripple Technical Analysis – 30-October-2024
The bears failed to close and stabilize the price below the $0.5 critical resistance. As a result, XRP/USD pulled above the $0.519 (August 8 Low) and tested the 100-period simple moving average.

Meanwhile, the Stochastic Oscillator declines from the overbought territory, depicting 75 in the description. Additionally, the Awesome Oscillator’s recent bar turned red, signaling that the downtrend gained momentum.

Ripple (XRP) Forecast – 30-October-2024
The immediate resistance rests at $0.519. From a technical perspective, the downtrend will likely resume if Bears push the price below $0.519. In this scenario, the $0.5 support could be revisited.
Furthermore, if the selling pressure exceeds $0.5, the next bearish target will likely be the October 26 low at $0.485. Please note the downtrend strategy should be invalidated if the price exceeds the 100-SMA.
The Bullish Scenario
The immediate resistance is $0.535, backed by the 100-period simple moving average. If bulls (buyers) close and stabilize the price above $0.535, the uptick momentum from $0.485 will likely aim for the October 17 high at $0.560.
The 100-period SMA will primarily support the bullish scenario if XRP/USD exceeds it.
