The decline broke the 50% Fib retracement level of the last surge from $0.2719 to $0.3200. There is still a risk that the token will trade below the support at $0.3000 which also happens to be in the same place as the 100 hourly SMA.
The good news is that the 618% Fib retracement level of the last move from $0.2719 to $0.3200 is now acting as support. Following this level, there is another key support near the $0.2840 level. While the MACD moved to the bearish level, it is now moving over to the bullish level. However, the relative strength index is still in the bearish level.
XRP has formed key support at $0.2840, $0.2850, and $0.2900 while there are resistances at $0.3120, $0.3020, and $0.3050. If the bulls gain the momentum they need to move above the $0.3120 level, the token will move as high as $0.3200 near-term.
This will not come as a surprise since the token has made significant progress over the last few days. The next few days of trading will help us determine what price action the token will take.

- Ripple XRP Surges by 40% in Epic Bull Run Above $0.30
- XRP Corrects Lower After Major Surge, Will the Bulls Regain Momentum?
Ripple XRP’s surge against the USD may have come to an end as the token has started correcting lower against the USD after its 40% surge in seven days. Yesterday, XRP started trading in a bullish angle below the $0.3020 level. While strong support held at $0.3000, there is a strong chance that it will keep correcting lower against the USD near-term. To be fair, downside corrections are not unusual after a major surge in price. So, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the bears have taken control of the market. There is still a chance that they will resume soon as long as the support holds.
