The XRP/USD pair traded a few points above the $0.3280 and $0.3300 resistance levels. However, there was no major upward move and the price topped near the $0.3340 level. Later, there was a downward move and the price declined below the $0.3260 support. There was also a break below the $0.3220 support and the 100 hourly simple moving average.
A low was formed at $0.3208 and later the price corrected higher. It recently broke the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent drop from the $0.3341 high to $0.3208 low.
