XRP Price Eyes More Upsides

XRP price remained supported above the $0.5850 level. It formed a base and started a fresh increase above $0.6000. It outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum in the past two sessions, with a move above the $0.650 resistance.

The price even climbed above the $0.70 level before the bears appeared. A high was formed at $0.740 before there was a pullback. It dipped below $0.7200 and tested $0.700. The price traded toward the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.6063 swing low to the $0.7400 high.

The price is now trading above $0.6250 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $0.6180 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The trend line is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.6063 swing low to the $0.7400 high.

On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $0.700 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.7080 level. The next key resistance could be $0.7250. A clear move above the $0.7250 resistance might send the price toward the $0.740 resistance.

XRP Price

Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.7550 resistance or even $0.7650 in the near term. The next major hurdle might be $0.780.

Another Drop?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.7080 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.6750 level. The next major support is near the $0.6250 level and the trend line.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.6250 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.6050 support in the near term. The next major support sits near the $0.600 zone.
