However, the price failed to surpass the main $0.3100 resistance level. It also failed near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $0.3305 swing high to $0.2396 low. The price is currently dipping, but there are high chances of a fresh increase above $0.3000.
A close above the $0.3000 level may possibly increase the chances of a push above the $0.3100 resistance. The next major resistance is near the $0.3200 level.
Fresh Dip in XRP?
If ripple fails to climb back above $0.3000, it could correct lower. An initial support is near the $0.2800 level and the 100 SMA (H4).
A downside break below the $0.2800 support zone could open the doors for a push towards the $0.2700 support. The next major support is near the $0.2620 level and the broken trend line.
