XRP Price Holds Ground

Over the last two trading sessions, XRP‘s value exhibited a consistent downward trend, falling beneath the $0.5320 mark. There were minor upward fluctuations akin to Bitcoin and Ethereum, but ultimately, XRP dipped below the $0.5120 support threshold.

At a price of $0.5028, a low point was reached and the market is currently reversing course to recoup some losses. Previously, there were breakthroughs above the resistance levels at $0.5200 and $0.5250. Furthermore, the price surpassed the 50% Fibonacci retracement level, which marks halfway point of the downward trend from the peak at $0.5477 to the trough at $0.5028.

The price for XRP/USD has surpassed the $0.5250 mark and the 100-hour moving average. The immediate resistance lies around $0.5320. Additionally, there’s a significant bearish trend line emerging on the hourly chart with resistance at approximately $0.5325 for the XRP/USD pair.

The first significant resistance point is around $0.5365 or the 76.4% mark of the previous price drop from the peak of $0.5477 to the low of $0.5028. Overcoming this barrier at $0.5365 could potentially push the price upwards.

If the price breaks through the $0.5480 barrier, bulls may drive it upwards, potentially leading to a continuous climb towards $0.5570. Further progress could possibly propel the price in the direction of $0.5800.

Another Decline?

Should XRP be unable to surpass the $0.5320 resistance point, there’s a risk of another price drop falling within that range. The initial floor can be found around $0.5250, along with the 100-hour Simple Moving Average (SMA).

If the price falls and breaks below the $0.5140 mark, it may lead to a significant drop in value. In such a scenario, the price could potentially plummet towards the next support level at $0.5030.
