$XRP Price Eyes Upside Break - NewsBTC Analytics

XRP price remained in a positive zone above the $0.4150 level and extended its recovery wave, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price was able to climb above the $0.4250 and $0.4320 resistance levels.

The price even cleared the $0.440 level, but it remained below the $0.4450 resistance zone. A high was formed at $0.4430 and the price is now consolidating gains. It is trading above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.4204 swing low to the $0.4430 high.

The price is also trading above $0.4320 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. Besides, there is a key rising channel forming with support at $0.4350 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.4450 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.4500 level. The next key resistance could be $0.4550. A clear move above the $0.4550 resistance might send the price toward the $0.4680 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.4720 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.480 resistance.

If XRP fails to clear the $0.4450 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.4350 level and the channel trend line.

The next major support is at $0.4310 and the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.4204 swing low to the $0.4430 high. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.4310 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.420 support in the near term.
