Ripple’s XRP price is facing resistance

There was a decent rebound in Ripple’s XRP above the $ 0.4200 and $ 0.4500 resistance levels. The price was even well above the $ 0.4500 level and the simple moving average of 100 (4 hours).

However, the price struggled to break the $ 0.4950 and $ 0.5000 resistance levels as Bitcoin and Ethereum rose higher. The most recent high was at $ 0.4950 before the XRP corrected lower. There was a pause below the $ 0.4800 support level.

The price, trading below the 23.6% fib retracement level of the uptrend, moved from the low of $ 0.3937 to the high of $ 0.4954. There was also a break below a triangle with support near USD 0.4700 on the 4-hour chart for the XRP / USD pair.

The price is now consolidating above $ 0.4500 and testing the 100 simple moving average (4 hours). The 50% Fib retracement level of the move up from the low of $ 0.3937 to the high of $ 0.4954 is also near the $ 0.4500 support. If there is a downside break below the USD 0.4500 support zone, a sharp decline could occur. In the indicated case, the price may revisit the support of $ 0.4000.

Fresh surge in XRP?

If the ripple stays above the USD 0.4500 support, it may lead to another spike. Initial resistance to the upside is near the $ 0.4950 level.

The main resistance is still at $ 0.5000. A significant break above $ 0.5000 will most likely trigger a sharp spike. The next major resistance is near the $ 0.5200 level, above which it could move towards the $ 0.5500 level.
