Yesterday we witnessed a slight upward recovery above the $ 0.3600 level in ripple compared to the US dollar. The pair XRP / USD even traded above the $ 0.3800 level, but struggled to cancel the resistance from $ 0.3850 and $ 0.3900. There was also a refusal noted near the $ 0.3850 level and the simple 100-hour moving average. In addition, the price failed to stay above the Fib retracement level of 61.8% from the last decline, from $ 0.4140 upwards to $ 0.3125 below.
