The channel resistance is close to the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the key downward move from the $0.2151 high to $0.1687 low. Therefore, an upside break above the $0.2000 level is must for more gains in the coming days.
If there is a daily close above $0.2000, the price could start another rally. The next key resistance is near the $0.2150 level, above which it could revisit the $0.2200 level.
Bearish Rejection in XRP
If there is no upside break above the $0.2000 resistance zone, there is a risk of a bearish reaction. An initial support is near the $0.1900 level.
If ripple fails to stay above the $0.1900 level, the price is likely to resume its decline. In the mentioned case, it could revisit the $0.1820 level in the near term.
