There was even a break below the $ 0.5200 level and the simple 100-hour moving average. However, losses were contained in the support area of $ 0.5000. The price was reduced to $ 0.4968 and was subsequently recovered.
It traded above the fiber retracement level of 50% of the last decline, from $ 0.5739 to $ 0.4968 low. There was a reasonable upward move above the $ 0.5400 level and the 100-hour SMA. However, the upward move was limited by the $ 0.5550 level. More importantly, the important downtrend line highlighted yesterday is intact with resistance at $ 0.5550 on the hourly chart of the XRP / USD pair. Also the fiber retracement level of 76.4% of the last decline from the low of $ 0.5739 to $ 0.4968 is close to $ 0.5557. Therefore, an upward break above the resistance levels of $ 0.5500 and $ 0.5550 could open the door to further gains.
