It is now trading in a bullish zone above the $0.6560 level and the 100 hourly simple moving average. The recent high was formed at $0.7258 from where a downside correction was initiated.
XRP price has moved below the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.5342 low to $0.7258 high. There is also a short-term declining channel forming with resistance near $0.6900 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. However, the pair remains well supported above the $0.6500 level and the 100 hourly SMA. The stated $0.6500 support is also near the 38.2% Fib retracement level of the last wave from the $0.5342 low to $0.7258 high. Therefore, any major dips from the current levels could find buyers above $0.6500.
A break below the $0.6500 support and a close below the 100 hourly SMA may push the price in a bearish zone. On the upside, the channel resistance at $0.6900 must be breached for a retest of $0.7250. Above $0.7250, the price may rise towards the $0.7400 level.
