A close above the trendline could send the price towards the resistance at $0.672. It is close to the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $0.7499 swing high to the $0.5938 low. If the bulls continue to act above the USD 0.672 resistance level, a rally towards the USD 0.750 resistance could take place. Any further gains could send XRP towards the USD 0.788 resistance.
Are dips limited?
If XRP fails to break the USD 0.640 resistance zone, it could continue to decline. The initial downside support is near the $0.620 zone.
The next major support is at USD 0.600. If there is a downside break and a close below the USD 0.600 level, the XRP price may accelerate lower. In the said case, the price could retest the USD 0.540 support zone.
