XRP/USD: Technical picture
On the intraday basis, XRP/USD is supported by an upside trend line currently at $0.1688. Once it is out of the way, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on psychological $0.1600 reinforced by SMA100 4-hour. Considering the downside-looking RSI on the 4-hour chart, the sell-off may continue with the next target at $0.1300.
On the upside, we will need to see a sustainable move above $0.1800 for the recovery to gain traction towards the next resistance created by SMA200 4-hour on approach to $0.1900.
