XRP Price Holds Uptrend Support

XRP price extended its increase above the $0.6150 resistance. It even climbed above the $0.6220 resistance before the bears appeared. A high was formed at $0.6330 before Bitcoin and Ethereum dragged the market lower.

There was a move below the $0.6150 and $0.6120 levels. The price declined below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.5802 swing low to the $0.6330 high. It is now trading near $0.600 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

There is also a connecting bullish trend line forming with support at $0.5920 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The trend line is close to the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.5802 swing low to the $0.6330 high.

If there is a fresh upward move, the price could face resistance near the $0.6120 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.6200 level. The next key resistance could be $0.6220. A clear move above the $0.6220 resistance might send the price toward the $0.6350 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.6500 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.680 resistance.

More Losses?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.6120 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5950 level. The next major support is at $0.5920 and the trend line zone.

If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5920 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.580 support in the near term.
