Ripple’s technical picture

XRP/USD jumped as high as $0.4715 during the previous week, though the upside proved to be unsustainable as the coin retreated to $0.36 on Friday amid major sell-off on the market triggered by a combination of technical factors and speculative positioning. However, XRP managed to return to the area above the critical $0.40 handle, which is positive for the coin in the long run.  

Meanwhile, the critical support lies with $0.38. this barrier is created by SMA50 weekly.  Once it is cleared, the downside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on  $0.3475 (DMA200). A sustainable move lower will expose $0.3350 (DMA50) and psychological $0.30.

On the upside, we will need to see a recovery above $0.42 (with intraday low located under this handle) to proceed to $0.4290 (Sunday’s high) and to $0.45.
