There was a break above the $0.3080 and $0.3100 resistance levels to start the recent recovery.

Additionally, yesterday’s highlighted major declining channel was breached with resistance near $0.3100 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The pair even broke the $0.3200 resistance and the 100 hourly simple moving average. However, the price is now struggling to break the $0.3200 and $0.3220 resistance levels. Moreover, the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3421 high to $0.3030 low is also acting as a resistance.
If there is an upside break above the $0.3220 and $0.3230 levels, the price could accelerate higher. The next resistance could be $0.3280 or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3421 high to $0.3030 low. The main resistance on the upside is near the $0.3330, above which the price is likely to accelerate towards the $0.3420 level.

There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support near $0.3155 on the same chart.
