The 100 simple moving average (4-hours) is at $0.3000 to stop the upward move. The first major resistance is near the $0.3055 and $0.3065 levels. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.3274 high to $0.2872 low.
On the downside, there is a strong support waiting near $0.2850 and $0.2800. If ripple fails to stay above the $0.2800 support zone, it could dive further towards the $0.2500 support in the near term.
Fresh Increase in XRP?
If ripple stays above the $0.2880 and $0.2850 support levels, it could form a new base for a fresh increase. To start a decent increase, it must recover above $0.3000.
The main hurdle is now near the $0.3055 and $0.3065 levels, above which the bulls are likely to aim a retest of the $0.3250 resistance zone in the coming sessions.
