XRP Price Meets Range Resistance: Can It Power Higher?
2024-10-15

XRP price is moving higher above the $0.5350 support. The price tested the $0.5550 resistance and seems to be struggling to continue higher.
XRP Price Revisits Resistance
XRP price remained stable above the $0.5320 support. A base was formed and the price started a fresh increase above $0.5400 like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The price climbed above the $0.5450 and $0.550 resistance levels. However, the bears are active near the key range resistance at $0.5550. A high is formed at $0.5550 and the price is now correcting gains. There was a move below the $0.550 level.
The price dipped below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.5252 swing low to the $0.5550 high. The price is now trading above $0.540 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a key bullish trend line forming with support at $0.5400 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair.
On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $0.5540 level. The first major resistance is near the $0.5550 level. The next key resistance could be $0.5650. A clear move above the $0.5650 resistance might send the price toward the $0.5800 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.5880 resistance or even $0.600 in the near term. The next major hurdle might be $0.6120, where the bears might emerge.
Another Decline?
If XRP fails to clear the $0.5550 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.5440 level and the trend line. The next major support is near the $0.5400 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.5252 swing low to the $0.5550 high.
If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.5400 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $0.5320 support in the near term. The next major support sits near the $0.5220 zone.
