Technical Analysis: XRPUSD Finds Support on Bollinger Band Mid-Band, Signals Bullish Continuation

Written by Baxia Markets | Feb 16, 2024 11:50:40 AM

During the Asian trading session, XRPUSD continued to climb, reaching new highs. However, towards the end of the session, the market underwent a correction. This correction found support during the European trading session, particularly on the mid-band of the Bollinger band, where a hammer candlestick pattern formed. The low of this hammer candlestick can be considered a key level of support, identified at 0.5594.

Technical indicators further support the bullish sentiment. Both the Exponential Moving Averages (EMA) 50 and 200 are trending upwards, with the distance between them widening. This indicates that the bullish momentum remains strong despite the correction towards the mid-band of the Bollinger band.

Additionally, the volume profile indicator reveals that prices are trading above the value area upper range, located at 0.5567. The lower side of the value area, marked by a pink horizontal line at 0.5364, serves as another key level of support.

Furthermore, traders are keeping a close eye on the bottom of the bullish engulfing candlestick pattern, which also serves as a significant level of support. A break below this bullish candlestick pattern could signal a retreat in bullish interest.

Oscillator indicators, such as the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) and Relative Strength Index (RSI), further confirm the bullish trend. The MACD signal line remains above the 0 line, while the RSI has consistently traded above the 40% level for the last 50 bars. Additionally, the MACD histogram indicates that momentum remains strong, with no signs of crossing below the 0 line.

Overall, the trend for XRPUSD is bullish, and the existing upward momentum may continue as long as the price remains above the upper bound of the volume profile's value area.

1. XRPUSD experienced a correction during the Asian trading session but found support during the European session.
