XRP Price Attempts Recovery

XRP price attempted a recovery wave above the $0.470 level like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The bulls were able to push the price above $0.4720 to push the price in a short-term bullish zone.

There was a break above a crucial bearish trend line with resistance at $0.4710 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. However, the pair is now facing resistance near the $0.4770 level. A high was formed at $0.4769 and the price is now consolidating losses.

The price is testing the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.4660 swing low to the $0.4769 high. It is now trading above $0.4720 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.

On the upside, the price is facing resistance near the $0.4770 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.4785 level. The main hurdle is now near $0.4825. A clear move above the $0.4825 resistance might send the price toward the $0.4880 resistance.
