XRP Price Dips Further

A low was formed at $0.5126 and the price is now attempting a fresh recovery wave. There was a move above the $0.5165 level. The price climbed above the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $0.5406 swing high to the $0.5126 low.

The first key resistance is near $0.5265 or the 50% Fib retracement level of the downward wave from the $0.5406 swing high to the $0.5126 low. A close above the $0.5265 resistance zone could send the price higher. The next key resistance is near $0.5320.

If there is a close above the $0.5320 resistance level, there could be a steady increase toward the $0.5450 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5650 resistance.

More Downsides?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.5220 resistance zone, it could continue to move down. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5150 level.

The next major support is at $0.5120. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5120 level, the price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could decline and retest the $0.50 support in the near term.
