XRP Price Analysis

Last week, the XRP price tried once more to surpass the $0.6420 barrier in its battle with the U.S. dollar. However, the XRP/USD pair encountered resistance at this level and subsequently plunged sharply.

The price dipped below the $0.60 and $0.55 supports, but eventually, buyers took control above the $0.385 support level. A low point was reached near $0.3875, and now the market is bouncing back to correct its losses. The resistance at $0.45 was surpassed.

The price for XRP has risen higher than the 23.6% mark of its recent drop from the peak of $0.6420 to the low of $0.3875. Currently, XRP is priced above $0.55 and the average price over the past 4 hours as indicated by the 55 simple moving average.

On the positive side, the price is encountering resistance around $0.5150. This level also aligns with the 50% Fibonacci retracement point during the price drop from the peak of $0.6420 to the low of $0.3875. The next notable resistance can be found near $0.550.

The initial significant hurdle for advancement is around $0.5850. Breaking through this barrier could trigger a substantial upward trend, potentially taking the price beyond $0.6250 and up to $0.6420. If so, further growth may propel the price toward the resistance at $0.700.

If the price experiences an initial drop, it may find support around $0.4580. Further downtrend could push the price towards $0.420 as the next significant support level. In the event of continued losses, the price might slide down to revisit the $0.400 support. Even lower than that, the price could be vulnerable to challenges around the $0.3850 support area in the short term.
