The trend line is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3306 swing high to $0.2390 low. XRP is now testing the $0.2600 support and it is well below the 100 simple moving average (4-hours).
If there is a downside break below the $0.2600 support level, the bears are likely to gain strength. In the stated case, there is a risk of a sharp decline towards the $0.2400 and $0.2350 levels. The price could even revisit the $0.2150 level in the near term.
Fresh Increase in XRP?
If ripple stays above the $0.2600 support zone, there are chances of a fresh increase. Th first key resistance is near the trend line and $0.2750. The next major resistance is near the $0.2800 level and the 100 SMA (H4).
A successful close above the $0.2800 level could open the doors for a surge towards the $0.3000 and $0.3120 levels.
