XRP/USD: Technical picture
On the intraday chart, XRP/USD moved to the area above the upside trendline, which is a positive development in the short run. Now this line serves as initial support at $0.240. Once it is broken, the sell-off is likely to gain traction with the next focus on $0.2030 reinforced by 1-hour SMA50 and the middle line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band. This barrier is followed by the psychological $0.2000 with 1-hour SMA100 and the lower line of the 1-hour Bollinger Band located on approach.

On the upside, a sustainable move above Monday’s high of $0.2080 is needed for the upside to gain traction. The next strong barrier is created by the pivotal $0.2100 with daily SMA100 and the middle line of the daily Bollinger Band. If it is cleared, the next resistance $0.2200 will come into focus. It is reinforced by daily SMA200. XRP/USD has been trading below this MA since the end of February, which means that the bulls may have a hard time moving higher.
