Initially, a significant barrier lies around $0.580. Following this, the key hurdle could be at $0.5850. Overpowering the $0.5850 obstacle might propel the price towards the next resistance at approximately $0.5980. Further up, a significant barrier is around $0.600. Any further advancements may take the price towards the resistance at $0.6120 or potentially even to $0.620 in the short term.

More Downsides?

If XRP doesn’t manage to surpass the resistance at around $0.5720, it might keep dropping. A potential floor for this drop could be around $0.5550. The next significant support level would be either $0.5420, which is approximately 76.4% of the upward move from the $0.5234 low to the $0.5989 high, or the Fibonacci retracement level itself.

If the price falls significantly past $0.5420 and drops below it, there’s a possibility that it could head lower towards the short-term support of $0.530. The following significant support level can be found at $0.5250.
