As long as the price is above the $0.2380 support, it could start a fresh upward move. An initial resistance is near the $0.2420 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.2450 level, above which the price might revisit the $0.2485 high. Any further gains could initiate a steady rise towards the $0.2550 resistance zone.
Bearish Break in XRP?
If ripple fails to stay above the $0.2380 support and the 100 hourly SMA, there is a risk of a fresh decline. The next major support is near the $0.2350 level.
A downside break below the $0.2350 support may perhaps start another bearish wave. In the stated case, the price is likely to revisit the $0.2300 support level. Any further losses could lead the price towards the $0.2250 and $0.2200 levels in the coming sessions.
