It is testing the $0.5450 support level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key upward move from the $0.4548 swing low to $0.6919 high.
If there is a clear break below the $0.5450 support level, the price could continue to move down. The next major support is near the $0.5000 level, below which the bears might aim a test of the $0.4500 support.
Upsides Limited in XRP?
If ripple starts a corrective increase above $0.5600, it could face hurdles. The first major resistance is near the $0.5740 level (the recent breakdown zone).
The next major resistance is near the $0.6000 level or the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). As long as the price is below the $0.5740 resistance, it remains at a risk of more losses in the near term.
