XRP Price Faces Hurdles
This past week, XRP price saw a sharp decline below the $0.550 level. The price declined below the $0.500 support and even spiked below $0.480. A low was formed near $0.4541, and the price is now moving higher, like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
There was a move above the $0.500 and $0.520 resistance levels. The bears cleared the 61.8% Fib retracement level of the main drop from the $0.640 swing high to the $0.454 swing low. However, the price is still below $0.5950 and the 100 simple moving average (4 hours).
On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $0.595 zone or the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the main drop from the $0.640 swing high to the $0.454 swing low. The first key resistance is near $0.600 and $0.608. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance near $0.6080 on the 4-hour chart of the XRP/USD pair.

A close above the $0.6080 resistance zone could spark a strong increase. The next key resistance is near $0.640. If the bulls remain in action above the $0.640 resistance level, there could be a rally toward the $0.670 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $0.700 resistance.
Another Drop?
If XRP fails to clear the $0.608 resistance zone, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $0.550 zone.
The next major support is at $0.520. If there is a downside break and a close below the $0.520 level, XRP price might accelerate lower. In the stated case, the price could retest the $0.500 support zone.
