$XRP Price Struggles at Resistance: Will Bulls Power a Fresh Upsurge? - NewsBTC Analytics
XRP price extended losses and even spiked below the $0.550 support zone. It tested the $0.5450 level. A low is formed at $0.5457 and the price is now attempting a fresh increase, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
There was a move above the $0.5550 and $0.5600 levels. The price climbed above the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.6020 swing high to the $0.5457 low. However, the bears are active near the $0.580 resistance zone.
There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $0.570 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $0.570 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price is facing hurdles near the $0.570 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.580 level. It is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.6020 swing high to the $0.5457 low.
The next key resistance could be $0.5850. A clear move above the $0.5850 resistance might send the price toward the $0.6050 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.6200 level. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.6320 resistance or even $0.650 in the near term.
If XRP fails to clear the $0.580 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5580 level. The next major support is at $0.5450.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5450 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.5320 support. The next major support sits at $0.5250.
