XRP Price Turns Red

Finally, the price tested the $0.3880 zone. A low was formed at $0.3875 and the price started a recovery wave. There was a move above the $0.40 and $0.450 levels. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.6420 swing high to the $0.3875 low.

The price is now trading below $0.550 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). Immediate resistance is near the $0.5140 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.6420 swing high to the $0.3875 low.

The next key resistance is near $0.540. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.5440 on the 4-hour chart of the XRP/USD pair. A close above the $0.540 resistance zone could spark a strong increase. The next key resistance is near $0.600.

If the bulls remain in action above the $0.600 resistance level, there could be a rally toward the $0.6240 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.700 resistance.

Another Decline?

The next major support is at $0.4550. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.4550 level, the price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.420 support zone.
