If there is a downside break below the trend line, the price could test the $0.2950 support area. It is important since it is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent rise from the $0.2869 low to $0.3043 high.
On the upside, ripple price is likely to gain pace above the $0.3020 and $0.3040 levels. The first major resistance is near the $0.3080 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a test of the $0.3120 resistance in the near term.
Dips Limited in XRP?
If ripple starts a downside correction, the bulls are likely to protect the main $0.2950 support zone. The next major support is near the $0.295220 pivot level.
Any further losses are likely to lead the price towards the $0.2850 support level or the 100 hourly simple moving average, where the bulls are likely to take a strong stand.
