XRP Price Turns Red

The cost briefly touched the $0.5440 mark, forming a low there. Currently, it’s pausing to recover after experiencing losses. It’s aiming to push past the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent downward trend from the peak at $0.5721 to the trough at $0.5440.

Currently, the price is lingering under $0.5650 and below its 100-hour moving average. Looking upwards, potential obstacles for the price increase lie around $0.5550.

The trend line is nearly touching the 50% Fibonacci retracement point from the recent drop, which started at the peak of $0.5721 and ended at the trough of $0.5440. The potential next barrier for upward movement could be around $0.5650. If the price manages to break through this resistance, it might push toward the previous resistance level at $0.5720.
