The first major resistance is near the $0.645 zone or the 50% Fib retracement level of the main decline from the $0.720 swing high to the $0.5720 swing low.

The main resistance sits at $0.650. A close above the $0.650 resistance zone could spark a steady increase. The next key resistance is near $0.685. If the bulls remain in action above the $0.658 resistance level, there could be a rally toward the $0.700 resistance. Any more gains might send XRP toward the $0.720 resistance.

Another Decline?

If XRP fails to clear the $0.650 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.615 zone and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).

The next major support is at $0.600. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.600 level, XRP price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.572 support zone.
