The main resistance is forming near $0.525. A successful break above the $0.525 resistance level might send the price toward the $0.532 resistance. Any more gains might call for a test of the $0.550 resistance.
Another Drop in XRP?
If ripple fails to clear the $0.525 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.490 zone.
The next major support is at $0.485. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.485 level, XRP’s price could extend losses. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.450 support zone.
