Ripple’s XRP Price is Showing Positive Signs
There was a sharp increase in ripple’s XRP price after it broke the $0.3000 resistance. The price climbed above the $0.3100 and $0.3200 resistance levels, but it struggled near the $0.3300 level.
A high was formed near $0.3302 before the price corrected lower. It broke the $0.3100 support and even spiked below $0.3000. However, the bulls defended the $0.2800 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4-hours). A low is formed near $0.2811 and the price is currently consolidating in a range.
It recovered above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3302 high to $0.2811 low. There is a key contracting triangle forming with resistance near $0.3000 on the 4-hours chart of the XRP/USD pair.

The triangle resistance is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3302 high to $0.2811 low. A successful break above the triangle resistance may possibly call for a break above the $0.3100 resistance.
A successful close above $0.3000 and $0.3100 could open the doors for a steady increase. The next hurdle could be $0.3300, above which the price could test $0.3500.
Fresh Dip in XRP?
If ripple fails to break the $0.3000 and $0.3100 resistance levels, it could correct lower. The first major support is near the $0.2880 zone and the 100 SMA (H4).
A downside break below the triangle trend line, $0.2850, and the 100 SMA (H4) could accelerate losses. In the stated case, the price could decline sharply towards the $0.2600 support zone in the near term.
