XRP Price Aims for Upside Momentum
XRP price has remained well-supported above the $0.5220 level, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum. As a result, the price has experienced a fresh increase within the current range, successfully surpassing the $0.5320 resistance level.
The price even climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the previous downward move from the $0.5426 swing high to the $0.5234 low. Furthermore, a short-term bearish trend line with resistance at $0.5360 was also broken on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
At present, the price is trading above $0.5330 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might encounter resistance near the $0.5380 level or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the previous downward move.
The first major resistance lies around the $0.5420 level, followed by the key resistance at $0.5450. If the price manages to clear the $0.5450 resistance, it could potentially surge towards the $0.5550 resistance level.
The subsequent significant resistance level is situated near $0.5640. Any additional gains might push the price towards the $0.5800 resistance, and even as high as $0.5880 in the near future.
Possibility of Further Declines?
Should XRP struggle to surpass the $0.5420 resistance zone, it could experience another decline. The initial support on the downside is around the $0.5330 level and the 100-hourly SMA. The next major support level stands at $0.5280.
A downside break and a close below the $0.5280 level may trigger further decline towards the support at $0.5220 in the short term. The subsequent significant support rests at $0.5150.
