Trading Action
Consider shorting XRP between $2.16-$2.19. Target $1.95 and $1.85, with a stop-loss at $2.24, offering a 1:3.6 risk/reward ratio. A break above $2.24 invalidates the trade. Manage risk by scaling into the position and tightening stops as price declines. Monitor RSI for potential short-term bounces near oversold levels, but the broader bearish trend remains intact.
Bottom Line
Aggressive traders can short XRP now, while conservative traders should wait for a retest of the broken neckline around $2.18 before entering. Watch $2.24; a reclaim of this level cancels the bearish thesis.
