Ripple Price Could Surge Again
After forming a support base near the $0.2320 level, ripple started a fresh increase. XRP price broke many hurdles near the $0.2450 and $0.2500 levels to enter a positive zone.

More importantly, there is a short term declining channel or a bullish flag forming with resistance near $0.2580 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The 50% Fib retracement level of the recent wave from the $0.2340 low to $0.2616 high is also near the $0.2480 level.
On the upside, an immediate resistance is near the $0.2550 and $0.2580 levels. A successful break above $0.2580 might start another surge above the $0.2600 level.
In the mentioned case, the price is likely to climb higher towards the $0.2650 and $0.2750 levels. The main target for the bulls could be $0.3000 in the coming sessions.
Importance of $0.2450

The next support is near the $0.2420 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. If the price fails to stay above the 100 hourly simple moving average, it could continue to move down towards the $0.2320 support.
