XRP Price Dips Again
After a steady increase, XRP price faced resistance near $0.5570. The price formed a short-term top and started a fresh decline from $0.5571, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
There was a move below the $0.5420 level. The price dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.5065 swing low to the $0.5571 high. The price even spiked below the $0.5250 support and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
However, the bulls are protecting the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.5065 swing low to the $0.5571 high. It is now trading above $0.5250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
Immediate resistance is near the $0.5310 level. There is also a connecting bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.5320 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The first key resistance is near $0.5350. A close above the $0.5350 resistance zone could send the price higher.
The next key resistance is near $0.5450. If the bulls push the price above the $0.5450 resistance level, there could be a steady increase toward the $0.5570 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5650 resistance.
More Downsides?
If XRP fails to clear the $0.5350 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5250 level and the 100 hourly SMA.
The next major support is at $0.5185. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5185 level, the price might gain bearish momentum. In the stated case, the price could decline and test the $0.5065 support in the near term.
