XRP Price Holds Key Support

The price climbed above the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.5430 swing high to the $0.5252 low. Besides, there was a break above a key bearish trend line with resistance at $0.5310 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.


The price is now trading above $0.5350 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $0.5390 level. It is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.5430 swing high to the $0.5252 low.

The first major resistance is near the $0.5400 level. The next key resistance could be $0.5450. A clear move above the $0.5450 resistance might send the price toward the $0.5500 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5680 resistance or even $0.5750 in the near term. The next major hurdle might be $0.600, where the bears might emerge.


Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.540 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5340 level and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. The next major support is near the $0.5280 level.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5280 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.5250 support in the near term. The next major support sits near the $0.5120 zone.
