Ripple Price Holding Uptrend Support
After a strong increase above $0.2000, ripple’s XRP failed to clear the $0.2120 resistance. It topped near the $0.2118 level and started a downside correction.
There was a break below the $0.2050 support level, but the price remained well above the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). The price even traded below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $0.1740 low to $0.2118 high.
However, the price is holding the main uptrend support at $0.1920. The 50% Fib retracement level of the upward wave from the $0.1740 low to $0.2118 high is also acting as a strong support.
