XRP Price Aims Higher

The price spiked a few times above the 50% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $0.700 swing high to the $0.578 swing low. However, the bears protected a close above the $0.650 resistance. It is now consolidating below $0.640.

The next major resistance is near the $0.650 zone or the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key decline from the $0.700 swing high to the $0.578 swing low. A close above the $0.650 resistance zone could spark a strong increase.

The next key resistance is near $0.672. If the bulls remain in action above the $0.672 resistance level, there could be a rally toward the $0.700 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.720 resistance.

Downside Break?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.638 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.610 zone and the triangle trend line.

The next major support is at $0.600. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.600 level, XRP price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.550 support zone.
