Ripple, alongside Litecoin and Ethereum, has been among the leading altcoins following the broad-based recovery. Bitcoin also corrected above $8,000 and even touched $8,100 while NEO touched the resistance at $12.50.
XRP/USD is currently trading 4% higher today from lows around 0.3803. Although it has hit intraday highs of $0.4046, XRP is changing hands at $0.4 at press time. The confluence detector highlights the initial support at the same $0.4 level. The support provided by a cluster of technical indicators including the previous high 4-hour, previous high 1-hour and the previous high 15′.
The next support lies at $0.3841 as highlighted by the previous week low, the 23.6% Fib level daily, Pivot Point 1-week S1, Bollinger Band 4-hour Lower, Bollinger Band 15′ lower and the previous low 4-hour. A couple of more support levels will ensure that extended declines are cushioned at $0.3675 and $0.3634.
As far as recovery is concerned, XRP has to establish support above $0.4 in order to trend to higher levels. Initial resistance is seen at $0.4048 with the Fibonacci 23.6% weekly, the Fibo 38.2% 1′ and the BB 15′ upper providing the confluence. If Ripple manages to clear this level, the next strong resistance is at $0.4338.
The bulls have their eyes on $0.50 in the medium-term but for now, support above $0.4 is key to upside movement.
