Technical Analysis for October 2022

The XRP price has been progressive since the beginning of the month and is expected to maintain a firm upswing until the end. The token soared from the 0 FIB level at $0.32 and reached the 0.618 FIB level at $0.52. Failing to surpass these levels, the token is hovering between 0.618 & 0.382 FIB levels. 

However, with a rebound, the prices are expected to clear the upper resistance and head towards 0.786 FIB levels at $0.57. This move may further trigger a price rise beyond $0.6 and eventually reach the 1 FIB level at $0.64 by the end of the monthly trade. 

Technical Analysis at a Glance

The XRP price was trading very close to $1 a couple of months earlier, but the market collapsed in May, dragging the price below $0.3. Since then, the token has been trying to ignite a parabolic recovery to regain the lost levels. Presently, with the advancement of the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit, the market sentiments are turning in favour of bulls. 

Hence, a significant upswing is expected to continue for some more time.

Short-Term	Ripple just rose from the bottom and hence may continue surging to reach immediate resistance at the earliest.
Mid-Term	The XRP price is trying hard to flip from the bearish divergence and hence a rebound may soon uplift the price in the upcoming days
Long-Term	As mentioned, the token is carrying out a parabolic recovery to reach the neckline
