On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $0.515 level. Besides, there is a connecting bearish trend line at $0.520. A close above the $0.520 level could send the price toward the $0.532 barrier. A successful break above the $0.532 resistance level might start a strong increase toward the $0.550 resistance. Any more gains might send XRP toward the $0.580 resistance.
More Losses in XRP?
If ripple fails to clear the $0.532 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5065 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).
The next major support is at $0.500. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.500 level, XRP’s price could extend losses. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.475 support zone.
