The first major resistance is near the $0.450 level and the trend line. The 61.8% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.4704 swing high to the $0.4100 low is also near the trend line. A successful break above the $0.445 and $0.450 resistance levels might send the price toward the $0.470 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $0.535 resistance.
More Losses in XRP?
If ripple fails to clear the $0.450 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.410 zone.
The next major support is near $0.40. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.40 level, XRP’s price could extend losses. In the stated case, the price could test the $0.380 support zone.
