Ripple Price Basing for the Next Move

Below the trend line, there is a strong support forming near the $0.2380 level. The next major support is near the $0.2300 level or the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $0.2093 low to $0.2500 high.
On the upside, the price is facing a major hurdle near the $0.2500 level. If there is a clear break above the $0.250 resistance, the price is likely to accelerate higher towards the $0.2550 and $0.2600 levels in the near term.
Downsides Likely To Be Limited in XRP
Clearly, there are many supports for ripple near the $0.2400 level. The main support is now forming near the $0.2300 level (this week’s breakout zone).
If there is a bearish break below the $0.2300 support, there is a risk of a sharp decline and the price might revisit $0.2200.
