Technical Analysis of XRP: Upside Potential and Downside Risks
Current data indicates that the XRP price is struggling to start a steady rise above the $0.50 level. The price needs to settle above $0.50 and $0.510 to gain upward momentum in the near term. The XRP price has started a slight upward move from the $0.4765 area. It is now trading above $0.4850 and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. There is a short-term rising channel forming with resistance at $0.500. Losses extended below $0.50 before buyers emerged, as the price tested the $0.4765 level and recently started a recovery wave.
The price faces obstacles near the $0.4980 and $0.50 levels. The main resistance coincides with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level of the recent decline from $0.5105 to $0.4765. If the resistance at $0.50 is surpassed, the price could move towards the $0.510 level. The next resistance is near $0.520. Closing above the $0.520 resistance zone might push the price to the $0.5320 level, and if this level is exceeded, there could be a steady rise towards the $0.550 resistance. Any further gains might drive the price towards the $0.5650 resistance.
If the price fails to overcome the resistance area at $0.50, it may start to decline again. The initial support on the downside is near the $0.490 level and the channel area. The next main support is at $0.4840. If there is a breakdown and a close below the $0.4840 level, the price may gain bearish momentum, in which case, it could trade below the recent low at $0.4765 in the near term.
We recommend closely monitoring the resistance levels at $0.50 and $0.510. If the price manages to surpass these levels, there might be a buying opportunity targeting the $0.520 and $0.5320 levels. On the other hand, if the resistance is not exceeded and the price fails to stay above critical support levels, it might be better to avoid buying until a clear rebound point is confirmed. It is also crucial to follow news and events that could affect the market in general and the XRP price in particular.
