More importantly, there is a key ascending channel forming with support near $0.2850 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The channel support is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent increase from the $0.2781 low to $0.2919 high.
On the upside, XRP price seems to be facing hurdles near the $0.2920 level. The main hurdle is near the $0.2950 level, above which the bulls are likely to aim a larger upward move towards the $0.3000 barrier in the coming sessions.
Downside Break in XRP?
If ripple struggles to clear above the $0.2920 and $0.2950 resistance levels, there could be a fresh decline. An initial support is near the channel lower trend line at $0.2850.
A clear break below the channel support could push the price back towards the $0.2780 pivot level. Any further losses is likely to call for a new weekly low below $0.2720.
