Ripple’s technical picture
XRP/USD attempts to settle above $0.40 failed on Wednesday. The coin recovered to $0.4128 only to tumble below $0.40 amid global cryptocurrency sell-off. The first resistance is created by 50.0$ Fibo retracement located on the approach to $0.38. Once it is cleared, the upside is likely to gain traction with the next focus on psychological $0.40, strengthened by SMA50 (Simple Moving Average) on 4-hour chart and 38.2% Fibo retracement level.
On the downside, the local support is created by Wednesday’s intraday low of $0.3660. A sustainable move below this handle will open up the way towards the next bearish aim of $0.3580 (SMA100 4-hour chart), which is closely followed by 61.8% Fibo retracement at $0.3550. The next strong barrier awaits XRP on approach to $0.3460 barrier (DMA200). It is followed by $0.3360 (DMA50) and psychological $0.30.
