The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.4536 low to $0.5764 high. On the upside, the $0.5750 level is an immediate resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.6000 level. A successful close above the $0.6000 level is likely to set the pace for more gains in the coming sessions. In the stated case, the bulls might aim a test of $0.6380.

Fresh Drop in XRP?

If ripple fails to clear the $0.5750 resistance or $0.6000, it could start a fresh decline. An initial support on the downside is near the $0.5450 level.

The first major support is near the $0.5150 level. The main support is near the trend line, $0.5100, and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). Any more losses might lead the price towards the $0.4500 support zone in the near term.
